'60 Minutes II' to Air Video of an American Talking About Iraqi Prisoners

NEW YORK (AP) - A video that shows a young American soldier saying "who cares?" about Iraqi prisoners who died will air on "60 Minutes II."


The CBS newsmagazine (8 p.m. EDT Wednesday) obtained the video diary of a soldier, whose name was withheld, talking about conditions at Camp Bucca and Abu Ghraib in Iraq, where Iraqi prisoners were held. snip

"We've already had two prisoners die ... but who cares?" the soldier says on the tape. "That's two less for me to worry about." snip

"I hate it here," she says. "I want to come home. I want to be a civilian again. We actually shot two prisoners today. One got shot in the chest for swinging a pole against our people on the feed team. One got shot in the arm. We don't know if the one we shot in the chest is dead yet."

4. It just shows
how grateful those Iraqi's should be to us for bestowing the Almighty's gift of freedom on them. Sarcasm intended.
