Former Diplomat: Some Won't Speak Out On War

A former diplomat from Arkansas, who said she resigned from the U.S. Foreign Service in part as a protest against the war in Iraq, says many people in the government believe the war is wrong, but are afraid to speak out.

Ann Wright, who grew up in Bentonville, graduated from the University of Arkansas and joined the Army, and then moved on to the Foreign Service. She was in Eureka Springs Wednesday to speak at an anti-war gathering sponsored by the group Veterans for Peace.

Also speaking at the meeting was Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, Calif., the "peace mom" who last summer led protests outside President Bush's Texas ranch.

Wright resigned from a State Department post in March 2003.
