Thursday night. The group, sponsored by Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT),
plans to travel to Baghdad in the coming days and spend the next week as a
nonviolent presence among the Iraqi people. As the U.S. government talks of
taking military action against Iraq's regime, the delegates are ready to be
with ordinary Iraqis in places such as markets, schools, and hospitals.

from such careers as social work, teaching and nursing. Several are
grandmothers and grandfathers. Two are full-time members of Christian
Peacemaker Teams and three are CPT reservists; several others have been on
previous delegations sponsored by CPT. Ages range from 24 to 77. Cliff
