Sy Hersh: "They (BushCo) are in total terror it's going to come out"

[kerry-is-my-prez]

We all knew about this a months ago - but let's not forget - 99.9% of 'Merkins have no idea that this is going on. I was re-reading this artcile and that sentence jumped out at me. I think a lot of us assume that everyone keeps up like we do - they don't.

I don't even think people in the MSM believe it or that they don't really have the proof to be bringing this out yet.

I have the feeling that the MSM could be bringing this up now that Bush is going on and on about Gitmo and trying to use it as an election issue. I've been thinking "How could this guy have the NERVE to be trying to use THAT as a campaign issue."

In my opinion, this would be the last straw for a lot of people if it can be proven.

I just don't see even freepers putting up with children being raped.

Seymour Hersh says the US government has videotapes of boys being sodomized at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
"The worst is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking," the reporter told an ACLU convention last week. Hersh says there was "a massive amount of criminal wrongdoing that was covered up at the highest command out there, and higher."

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?
