Hersh Speaks of more War Crimes
Posted on July 15, 2004
Seymour Hersh speaking at the ACLU 2004 America At A Crossroads conference last week regarding war crimes commited at Abu Ghraib. Watch for yourself, he speaks at 1:07.
"Some of the worse that happened that you don't know about, ok. Videos, there are women there. Some of you may have read they were passing letters, communications out to their men. This is at Abu Ghraib which is 30 miles from Baghdad [...]
The women were passing messages saying "Please come and kill me, because of what's happened". Basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys/children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. The worst about all of them is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror it's going to come out."

link and transcript from Daily Kos. What's even more disgusting than this story, if that's possible, is that none of the big media outlets ever made a peep about Hersh's comments, and this is many days later.
Update: the story's been picked up by the blogsphere, boingboing, joi ito, metafilter to name a few, and in Salon's war room coverage.
