Sy Hersh...he broke My Lai, now the Iraq torture story.

Didn't Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld visit the Iraq prison in July?
And wasn't Colin Powell involved somehow in covering up the My Lai investigation ?

Wake me up. I must be having a nightmare. We said Iraq was Viet Nam Deja Vu, but who knew?

Turn over that rock, Sy.

"My view as a journalist is simple: you have to hold public officials to the highest possible standard. What's happened in America is very disturbing. All of us, as parents, don't want our children to lie to us, and, earlier, as children, don't want to be lied to by our parents. We all understand that integrity in a relationship is the core issue. The tragedy in America today is that we don't begin to impose on our national leaders the same standard which we hold so dear in our personal life. In other words, if we were to say, "Well, that's always happened," we'd almost be officially saying that there is a double standard—that what we can't tolerate in our personal life is O.K. in the most important officials we have, those officials with power not only over us but over our young men and women who go to fight, and over the people they kill. If we start saying that anything less than the highest standard is tolerable, we're really destroying democracy. Democracy exists on the basis of truth"

the types of torture used were specifically designed by the civilians and intel operatives

Rumsfeld visited the prison as well, there is a photo of him, a three star and Karminsky...

Ah slam on Myers, that is an amazing condemnation. From what Sly just said this goes, probably, all the way up to the Secretary of Defense and the JCS... HOLY COW

So now the Liberator theory has gone the way of the trash can. What's our reason for invasion now?

a tad, I am sure they will get back to us

WMDs, blew in their face

Democracy (ok, nice dreaming)

Liberation (but the rape rooms are still in use Mr. Bush)

Oh yes, 9.11 and Al Qaida... humdum

...

That was incredible.

Hersh said he is confirming other aspects of the story that he will report, once he has them completely verified. This is the tip of the horrendous iceberg.

and their ties to PNACers - please see this thread - it's just the beginnning
