Seymour Hersh, in a speech to the ACLU last week, reported more abuse evidence in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, much of it more vile than had been previously reported.
The media in the States has been slow to report it, but it's been picked up in the Middle East at al-Jazeera.
Lifting from Kos, this was transcribed from the video of Hersh's speech:
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?
These people and their children know nothing of Intelligence reports, yellowcake or Weapons of Mass Destruction, yet they have become -- for many soldiers who believed in Bush's war -- the face of Iraq... the enemy.
