15. This article is essential for any of us who have been carrying around
a real sense of horror, shame, and rage over what those photos revealed.

Seymour Hersh tells us our instincts WERE right on target about what we believed was going on. What's more, he tells us that this kind of thing has actually been happening ALL THE WAY BACK TO AFGHANISTAN.

How many of us thought maybe something like this was happening when there was a sudden prison riot in Afghanistan, and a man from Alabama, Johnnie someone, an interrogator, possibly with the CIA, was killed?

As graphic and unadorned as some of the material was in the article, you do get the feeling Hersh was modifying what he had learned from concern for some of his readers' sensibilities. I don't think more was needed to get the point across, either.

Thanks to Political_Junkie. I've already sent off a link of the story to someone else as soon as I finished reading. I hope multitudes will read it. We have really been short of Americans willing to invest the time reading, haven't we?
