14:39Now PlayingOn the tenth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, we look at how U.S. military veterans and Iraqi civilians have come together to launch "The Right to Heal" campaign for those who continue to struggle with the war's aftermath. We're joined by U.S. Army Sgt. Maggie Martin, who was part of the invading force in March 2003 and is now director of organizing for Iraq Veterans Against the War. We are also joined by Yanar Mohammed, president of the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq, who describes how the condition of women has deteriorated in Iraq, with many young women and orphans pushed into sex trafficking. Mohammed's organization has also documented the toxic legacy of the U.S. military's munitions in Iraq by interviewing Iraqi mothers who face an epidemic of birth defects.
