Children Sodomized at Abu Ghraib

Seymour Hersh speaks out at the ACLU about what's on the rest of the videos that only Congress saw. Ed Cone links to the RealAudio version of the speech, and over at Daily Kos they are transcribing some of the more chilling parts of Hersh's speech. Expect an explosive New Yorker essay sometime soon. Meanwhile, America, have a cheeseburger and buy some sneakers.

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.

It's impossible to say to yourself how do we get there? who are we? Who are these people that sent us there?
