Note: I know Matt Childers' Winter Soldier Testimony has been posted here on DU, but I couldn't find a link here to his Flicker account with the images from his art book "James Blames Himself Today". So here it is.

Santa Cruz resident Matt Childers, a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War, testified at the Winter Soldier hearings held last month in Silver Springs, Maryland. Matt served two deployments to Iraq as an infantryman with the U.S. Marines. Originally from West Virginia, he now makes his home in Santa Cruz and is a student at Cabrillo College. His photography and artwork, including a graphic art book "James Blames Himself Today," about coming home from Iraq, is available online at http://www.flickr.com/photos/bound4glory1884/sets/72157600256954708/. His testimony was given as part of a panel on racism and dehumanization of the enemy in Iraq. Video and audio of that panel is available in its entirety at IVAW.org, and at warcomeshome.org.
