AWOL Soldier Agustin Aguayo Turns Himself In
And finally in an update from a story Democracy Now! covered yesterday, Army medic Agustin Aguayo turned himself in on Tuesday at Fort Irwin in California. He had refused to return to Iraq and went AWOL. Aguayo held a news conference before he turned himself in.

Agustin Aguayo: "Why am I turning myself in? Because it is the right thing to do. It is the responsible thing to do. I'm not a deserter or a coward. I just felt that I needed to be unavailable for this movement because I have come to believe that it is so wrong."
