Truly freakin' awful.

Is the Abu Ghraib case about to really break?

From Kleiman's blog:
http://www.markarkleiman.com/archives/torture_/2004/06/is_the_abu_ghraib_case_about_to_really_break.php
Two huge developments today:

The New York Times reports that the two-star general in charge of the investigation, forbidden by Army regulations from investigating the behavior of anyone above himself in rank, has asked to be replaced for that reason, and that a four-start is expected to be appointed. This follows his previous request for an extension of time to complete the investigation, which apparently resulted from the change of heart by a witness who had previously refused to cooperate.

And Brad DeLong relays an email correspondent's account of a talk by Sy Hersh at the University of Chicago:

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."

Children? That tears it.

That's going to be too strong even for the stomachs of the Bush-worshippers.

I want to know more about this, if possible.

1. Trying to find out more myself...

If you find anything, please make sure the URL makes it here, okay?
I'll do likewise.

2. I tried too. It is so frustrating... The University of Chicago does not

have a transcript and they forbade filming of the lecture...

4. Did you get to see it?

Damn, that would've been interesting.

3. I'll try to keep this thread alive, but I may not be here much this

weekend. Keep checking!

5. You bet!

Have a good weekend!

6. Seymour "Sy" Hersch is a reporter for the New Yorker

As far as I know, he does not have a blog, but you can probably find an email address for him on the New Yorker site. Hersch has broken all of the big Abu Ghraib stories (CBS only went forward after they learned that Hersch's story was going to press on the initial story), and has published several hard-hitting stories on the entire Iraq debacle. Hersch's investigative reporting dates back decades--he's one of the elder statesmen of print journalism.

7. Rumors

I have been reading rumors about this all day and all I can say is I hope it isn't true. I won't believe it until I see it. How could adults, miltiary types who pride themselves on honor, do something like this AND film it? It's too sickening.

10. rumors? Have you read any of the reports/memos/transcripts?

9. I started there...no e-mail address.

It's spelled "Hersh"...see my post about what happened when I googled "contact seymour hersh".

12. Not according to "The New Yorker" magazine

14. I guess the New Yorker knows how to spell his name.....

Thanks!

:toast:

Apparently, I'm not the only one to misspell it; check out this Google search:

18. Dang! That's weird!

To tell the truth, I'm used to seeing a "C" in that name myself.
Sometimes I'll do a "google spell-check"...google it one way and then the other and see which gets more hits. Sot of democratic, that way! :D
I'm up for a beer...that CACI thing has me on edge still. :toast:

[mopaul]

13. I think it's 'Hersh'

[iconoclastic cat]

17. Oops!

You're right.

[iconoclastic cat]

15. Well, ya learn something new every day here at DU!

It's like a graduate course in indie journalism!

Thanks!

8. This has to be someone's idea of a sick joke.

There's no coincidence this big. No way.
I was trying to find contact information for Sy Hersh so I googled "contact Seymour Hersh" and look what I got...

If I just disappear after today make sure there's an investigation...

in case anyone doesn't know who CACI is...

[Media_Lies_Daily]

16. Hersh has never been an employee of CACI. Hersh's entire career...

...has centered around journalism.

Yes, it is a coincidence.

[Career Prole]

19. I'd still go with sick joke over coincidence, MLD

I find it tough to believe that there'd be another Seymour Hersh working at CACI, home of the Abu Ghraib MI abusers.
