OUTSIDE PEPSI CENTER -- The group of antiwar Iraq veterans who marched to the edge of the Pepsi Center perimeter has turned around to move "to a better strategic location," one of the veterans told the men and women standing on Aurora Parkway.
Former Marine Lance Cpl. Jeff Key has continued contact with the campaign of Barack Obama, seeking to read the demands of Iraq Veterans Against the War in person to either the candidate or a direct representative.
Key left a message for Obama's veteran affairs aide, he said, but that the aide has his or her cell phone turned off.
"I don't want this to be misperceived," he told a crush of reporters. "If someone's not getting a message, I'm confident someone will come out."
