Navy Public Affairs Officer Who Worked in Iraq (and defended Bush) Condemns President Bush & The U.S. Invasion (and just took part in a Peace Rally - reminds me of Kerry's brave stand against the Vietnam War during which he became a hero) A year ago Navy Lt. John Oliveira was appearing daily before television cameras defending the U.S. invasion. He was the top public affairs officer aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. In a Democracy Now! exclusive he speaks today on a national program for the first time criticizing the invasion he was once paid to defend. [includes rush transcript] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A year ago Saturday Lt. John Oliveira was aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Mediterranean Sea. He was serving as public affairs officer for the 5,000-troop aircraft carrier. He was overseeing embedded reporters. He was speaking to the national and international media defending the U.S. invasion. To mark the first anniversary of the invasion, Oliveira was far from the battlefront -- he was taking part in his first peace rally. Two months after being honorably discharged, Oliveira decided to speak out against the invasion of Iraq for the first time. Today this decorated 16-year Navy veteran talks with Democracy Now! in his first national interview to criticize the U.S. invasion of Iraq and President Bush. Lt. John Oliveira (Ret.), served as public affairs officer for the USS Theodore Roosevelt and was deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. In September of 2001 he was part of the first battle group to deploy following the attacks of Sept 11th. He spent six and a half months overseas mostly in the northern Indian Ocean managing the public relations effort of a 102 ship international force during the U.S attack on Afghanistan. Last year he was stationed near Iraq. democracynow.org
