Jack Dalton is a 60-year-old former Marine and disabled Vietnam veteran. He returned from Vietnam, he says, as “A real ‘America, love it or leave it’ type.” But by the middle of 1967 he had changed drastically, after listening to what the American people were being told by their government about the war. Dalton wondered what war they were talking about, since “it sure wasn’t the one I just came back from.” Today he claims to hear the same kind of thing from those returning from Iraq. Only, in his opinion, “the level of government secrecy has increased,” and “public discourse is once again being ‘criminalized.’” Dalton is co-editor of Project for the Old American Century, a web-based, grass-roots organization that “strives to protect and strengthen democracy primarily by disseminating unreported and under-reported news stories from a perspective untainted by political or corporate sponsorship.”
