Former Staff Sergeant Jimmy Massey, a 12-year Marine veteran, lives in Waynesville, North Carolina, a small town in the Smoky Mountains. He is one of a growing number of American soldiers returning from Iraq who have become outspoken opponents of the war.

Massey entered Iraq as part of the initial US invasion in March 2003. He witnessed—and in some cases participated in—the killing of innocent civilians. During a single 48-hour period, he says, he saw as many as 30 civilians killed by US gunfire at highway checkpoints.

The brutality of the US military’s retaliation against the growing resistance of the Iraqi people transformed his view of the occupation.

Jimmy Massey has become one of the most articulate voices of anti-war opposition in the United States. He gives insights into the "economic draft" that is now operative, the disregard for the Geneva Conventions by U.S. Forces & the lies that were told to market this war. He gives the perspective of someone involved in the invasion and occupationof Iraq.

Does anyone have the details of where and when Massey is speaking in Derry? He's doing a nationwide tour as far as I know but only the Dublin and Shannon dates were well advertised.
