6-DAY READING OF NAMES OF IRAQ DEAD PLANNED

This from NY1:

Anti-war activists began a six day reading of the names of those who have died in the war in Iraq Sunday.

The Granny Peace Brigade and other groups have pledged to be
outside the Army recruiting center in Times Square from dawn until dusk
every day through March 16th.

They say they will recite the names of journalists, service members
and Iraqi civilians who have died since the war began in 2003.

"I think its important for people to remember that there are
thousands and thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people that
have died, not only Iraqis, our soldiers. Now it’s Afghanistan,” said
Elaine Brower, mother of an Iraq war veteran. “I want people out in
Times Square and everywhere in the world to realize there are people
dying as we stand here."

Iraqi war veterans, Broadway actors, authors and others are expected to attend the reading throughout the week.
