Filmmaker Oliver Stone will direct a TV commercial questioning
the Bush administration's military strategy in Iraq.
The Oscar-winning Vietnam veteran was hired by activist groups
MoveOn.org and VoteVets.org to shoot a 30-second spot derived from
video of U.S. soldiers and their family members speaking out against
the war. Members of MoveOn will select one of 20 video interviews
on its site, as well as on YouTube, for Stone to turn into a commercial.
"We have leaders in Washington who say they're 'supporting
our troops' -- but the people who suffer most from their policies
are the troops themselves," Stone said. "I decided to
participate in this project because, as a veteran, I know that America
needs to listen to our servicemen and women."
The videos under consideration can be viewed at http://www.pol.moveon.org/videovets.
The commercial is expected to air in the coming weeks.
