TODAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW!:

* Parents of a U.S. Marine Who Committed Suicide After Returning Home from
Iraq File Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Veterans Affairs *

Joyce and Kevin Lucey say their son Jeffrey hanged himself after the U.S.
military refused to deal with his post-traumatic stress disorder. In May
2004, Jeffrey's parents had him involuntarily committed to a VA hospital.
But the hospital discharged him after a few days. Two weeks later, Kevin
Lucey came home to find his son hanging from a hose in the cellar. Lying on
his bed were the dog tags of two unarmed Iraqi prisoners Jeffrey had said he
was forced to shoot.
