AS U.S./IRAN TENSIONS HEAT UP, ACTIVIST ED KINANE RETURNSTO WARTORN MIDDLE EAST (IRAN)
I an very pleased that Ed Kinane will be joining us after just arriving back from this important trip.

Veteran peace worker ED KINANE will fly from Syracuse to Iran on Wednesday, Feb. 28. Kinane will be part of a 14-day civilian diplomacy delegation organized by the international peace group, Fellowship of Reconciliation.This 25-member friendship delegation is the third in a series of F.O.R. peace missions to Iran.... The missions work to build solidarity between the people of the United States and the people of Iran.

Kinane says, "These days saber rattling is bringing the world to the brink of further war. We civilians can't sit by and let governments destroy us all."

A native and resident of Syracuse's southside, Kinane is a graduate of S.U.'s Maxwell School of Citizenship. Since the late seventies Kinane has been active with the Syracuse Peace Council. In 2003 Kinane spent five months in IRAQ with the human rights group, Voices in the Wilderness. Kinane resided in Baghdad before and during the U.S. invasion. He returned to Baghdad several months later to report on the U.S. occupation.


A veteran of various international peace initiatives, Kinane has
worked with Peace Brigades International in Guatemala (1988), El Salvador (1989), Sri Lanka (1991), and Haiti (1993). In 1996 and in 1999 Kinane spent 14 months in federal prison for his outspoken nonviolent activism against the U.S. Army's School of the Americas -- notorious for training Latin American soldiers the craft of torture and "anti-insurgency" The F.O.R.
