Troops take views on war to ‘60 Minutes’Some of the more than 1,000 servicemembers who have signed a petition to Congress seeking the end of the Iraq war will appear on “60 Minutes” on Sunday, as well as other troops opposed to the group, CBS reported. “60 Minutes” is to be shown on American Forces Network overseas at 7 p.m. Monday in most locations.

Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Jonathan Hutto and Marine Sgt. Liam Madden, who initiated the petition, appear on the show, CBS said in a release Friday.

Though the segment was still being edited Friday, a “60 Minutes” representative told Stripes that roughly seven servicemembers express frustration with their efforts in Iraq.

Other troops interviewed from Iraq offer correspondent Lara Logan an opposing viewpoint, according to the CBS representative.

Air Force captain denies raping four menEGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — An Air Force officer accused of raping four men and attempting to rape two others wept as he told investigators on a video taped interview played at his court-martial Friday that he had sex with one of his alleged victims.

Capt. Devery L. Taylor, a medic and the former chief of patient administration at Eglin Regional Hospital, initially told investigators from the Military’s Office of Special Investigations and the Okaloosa Sheriff’s Office last year that the man tried to force him to have sex, but that he refused.

Taylor changed his story several hours into the five-hour interview following intense questioning from investigators and after they told him the man, a fellow Air Force captain who he met at a bar and offered a ride to his hotel, had accused him of rape.

“He initiated it,” Taylor told the investigators. “He was trying to get me down and he said I can tell on you if you don’t do this. I said I’ve been overly polite, and he scared me with the comment,” Taylor said.

Charges refiled against lieutenant after mistrialFORT LEWIS, Wash. — The Army has refiled charges against a lieutenant from Honolulu who refused to serve in Iraq, about two weeks after his first court-martial was declared a mistrial.

First Lt. Ehren Watada, 28, who refused to deploy with his unit last June, faces the same allegations he initially faced — missing movement and conduct unbecoming an officer — and could be sentenced to a dishonorable discharge and six years in prison if convicted.

The Army has not set a date for a second court-martial.

“We’re back to square one,” Fort Lewis spokeswoman Leslie Kaye said Friday.

Watada’s first trial began early this month but ended abruptly when the judge, Lt. Col. John Head, said he did not believe the soldier fully understood a pretrial agreement he signed admitting elements of the charges. As part of that agreement, the Army dropped two of the charges against him, lowering his potential sentence to four years.

Two soldiers killed in Panama accidentPANAMA CITY, Panama — Two U.S. soldiers died and two others were injured in a traffic accident in northwestern Panama, emergency personnel reported Friday.

The U.S. Embassy identified the dead as Christopher Conn, of California, and Brad A. Svoboda, of Maine. Details on their hometowns or units were not immediately released.

The Army reservists were traveling in a Humvee on Thursday when it was struck by a truck near the town of Miramar, about 300 miles west of the capital.

One of the reservists was declared dead at the scene and another died hours later, said Roberto Velasquez, director of the National Civil Protection System.

Two other reservists suffered less severe injuries in the crash, the embassy said. A Panamanian traveling in the Humvee was also injured, as well as the driver of the truck.

In the western province of Bocas del Toro, reserve units are building schools and health clinics, and providing medical assistance for local residents.
