Sy Hersh – “Frightened”

by ·

Seymour Hersh spoke… at the University of Chicago … He said the people most horrified by the way the war was planned were the military commanders responsible for protecting their troops…. He talked about the horror of the 1000 civilian deaths in Fallujah (but was careful to note the Marines were doing their job, placing the blame with their superiors) … He said that after he broke Abu Ghraib people are coming out of the woodwork to tell him this stuff. He said he had seen all the Abu Ghraib pictures. He said, “You haven’t begun to see evil…” then trailed off. He said, “horrible things done to children of women prisoners, as the cameras run.” He looked frightened.
