Interpreters in Iraq have been a key asset for the United States in the fight against terrorism. They have helped gather key intelligence and improve relationships between U.S. armed forces and local civilians in the region. For their actions, they have made themselves targets for terrorist groups who wish to use them and their families as examples for those who help the United States. We owe it to these brave men and women to protect them and their families from the violence they risk in helping us. These men and women are not terrorists, but people who fight the same enemy we do and have showed ideals that we should hope the finest American upholds as well. We, the people, wish to provide assistance to those who have helped us and not turn our backs on our allies in the war on terror.
