And The Walls Came Tumblin’ Down
From today’s Altercation by Eric Alterman, on Sy Hersh’s charges that U.S. troops sexually abused children in front of their parents at Abu Ghraib:
“A reader points out that what the public has seen of the Taguba Report is little more than a 50 page summary, while in fact there are over 6000 pages in the report, which include statements and interviews by numerous witnesses.
Among that evidence is testimony that backs up Seymour Hersh’s assertions. [A]ctual copies of documents from the Taguba report, which are on the Washington Post Web site…appear to document exactly the kind of sexual abuse to minors that Hersh saw.”
