Seymour Hersh on Abu Ghraib: "horrible things done to children of women prisoners, as the cameras run."
Brad DeLong posted an email message he received from someone who saw Seymour Hersh speak at the University of Chicago a couple of nights ago.

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."

He looked frightened.

The International Committee of the Red Cross has confirmed that they are aware of children in the American gulags in Iraq. At the camps at Abu Gharib and Um Qasr the Red Cross has recorded children – “a total of 107 children between January and May of this year in the course of 19 visits to 6 different detention places.”

At about the same time as the German TV report Seymour Hersh gave a speech to the American Civil Liberties Union. Hersh, whose investigative stories first revealed the Abu Gharib horrors informed the ACLU that the truth was still being covered up and that
it was much worse than had been yet told.

Hersh described a video tape of young Iraqi boys being sodomized by Iraqi prison guards. Hersh says that the worst part of the tape is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking. Hersh has stated that there was a “series of massive crimes, criminal activity by the President and Vice President, by this administration anyway – war crimes”.
