  RU|You have no right to criticize Wright   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Ravenwood - 05/03/04 04:30 PM Author and anti-war activist Micah Wright, who had lied about his military service to bolster his anti-war rhetoric, deflected some of the criticism by lashing out at those authors and journalists who don't know what it's like to live a lie.
Wright, an anti-war zealot and published author had claimed to be an Army Ranger who served during the invasion of Panama.
Wright claims that unless his detractors have also made up lies to bolster their credibility, they have no idea what he's going through.

Micah was a veteran of the US Army Rangers, a writer of animated television shows and a freelance comic book writer.
Now, I was one of Micah Wright's fans; I inhabited his forum, posted occasionally and bought his books.

 Anti-War Writer Outed as Fake by Washington Post   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Micah Wright, however, apparently made false claims about his military history in order to strengthen the poignancy of his anti-war tales.
Wright claimed that he was an Army Ranger who participated in the 1989 invasion of Panama, and that his experiences there transformed him into an anti-war activist.
When the Washington Post ran a profile of Wright, Army Rangers who served in Panama wrote in to complain that Wright was not a Ranger and had not served in the theater.

Micah Wright at a convention in March of 2004.
Wright, 34, is a former Army Ranger, one of the airborne commandos who typically lead the way in war, parachuting into combat zones.
Micah has (sadly) learned a hard lesson, but I hold his publishers in much greater contempt for their willingness to destroy a good person who has made a significant contribution to our national dialog.

 Reeder's Digest 1: Micah Wright
Well, OK. But as Wright is rapidly finding out, with the lies about his military career becoming public knowledge, everything else he's said over the last few years is now called into question.
And the Washington Post, which ran this praise-filled interview by Richard Leiby last year - indirectly supporting Wright's assertion that the media are partly to blame, by being astoundingly blasé in their fact-checking - has now made up for their laxity somewhat by running a rather less complimentary exposé, not coincidentally also by Leiby.
Wright says he decided to confess because he couldn't take the guilty pressure any more and did so to Seven Stories Press, who then contacted the Post.

Updating yesterday's little Micah Wright item, looks like he's cut out sections of his "apology" that people have been quoting.
According to the article, Wright knew they were getting ready to expose him, after questions arose about their profile of him last year, and he then admitted his tiny little oopsie to his publisher (who has now cancelled his upcoming book).
Oh, and another bit from Wright on how he's telling the truth about why he lied, and everybody else is lying about why he told the truth.

 AlterNet: Subverted Propaganda
That's one of the strengths of Wright's "subverted propaganda," as he calls his posters; they don't provide a detailed analysis so much as they raise questions and force viewers to come up with their own answers.
Although the posters are the heart of the book, in some ways my favorite part was Wright's short introduction, "Moment of Clarity." The ironic sense of humor evident in the posters also energizes Wright's account of how he went from being a gung-ho U.S. Army Airborne Ranger to a political dissident.
It was on that mission that Wright witnessed the U.S. bombing of El Chorrillo, a poor section of Panama City, which changed his life.

In a nutshell, Wright takes old advertisements and war propaganda posters from the '40s through the '60s, Photoshops out the slogans and jingo, and puts in his own.
Given the political climate, Wright knew larger publishers wouldn't be interested in taking the risk of being called "Anti-American" by the conservative press and having to face subsequent calls for boycotts of all the parent company's products, so he was content to keep things going as they were on his website and his CafePress shop.
When Wright regained his sense, Zinn was writing the introduction, Kurt Vonnegut was writing the foreword, while the Center for Constitutional Rights was adding political commentary.

WRIGHT:  Eventually what I did was I took the posters I had created and posted on the WEF and put them on my own web page and bought a Url at www.antiwarposters.com.
People started sending the URL around to their friends and they told two people and so on and so on.  One of the people who saw them was Professor Nancy Snow, who teaches at USC at the Annenberg School of Communications, which is where the next generation of television and news reporters are being trained.

In a story that broke late yesterday, the writer of the recently cancelled "Stormwatch: Team Achilles," Micah Ian Wright, revealed that he never served as a member of the Army Rangers, a claim he's made since he first came on the comics scene in March of 2002.
Apparently Wright had posted a revised bio to his Web site with the revelation on April 25th, reposting that information to his forum Saturday.
After filing requests under the Freedom of Information Act, the Washington Post confirmed last month that Wright was never a member of the Army Rangers and today ran a story detailing their efforts to uncover the truth.

After years of throwing Wright's service in the face of his detractors - and spitting on the actual Rangers who tried to tell them he was lying - the members of his forum are now celebrating Wright's "honesty" and "courage" for coming forward.
A little over a year ago, Wright responded to a critical blog post from Parrott with the following (and this is just a brief excerpt of the whole rant, not to mention the resulting brouhaha):
I never said Wright should be crucified, but I am pretty hot that he used his lie on a regular basis - both as a debate tactic (personal experience with that), and to gain employment.

I find Wright to be an unbearable ass from his internet personality and will stay very far away from anything that has his name on it.
