Watch Winter Soldiers (Vets) Testify Outrages In Iraq

submitted by marinara

Youtube labeled 1/6....watching the rest of these in trashy-crashy realplayer on democracynow.org

Memorial Day Special...Winter Soldier on the Hill: War Vets Testify Before CongressWar veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan came to Capitol Hill this month to testify before Congress and give an eyewitness account about the horrors of war. Like the Winter Soldier hearings in March, when more than 200 service members gathered for four days in Silver Spring, Maryland to give their eyewitness accounts of the injustices occurring in Iraq and Afghanistan, "Winter Soldier on the Hill" was designed to drive home the human cost of the war and occupation—this time, to the very people in charge of doing something about it.

Moving this video to marinara's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

This needs to be heard.

At the same time, the conditions under Saddam need to be heard as well. As much as war is horrible and people need to be reminded of it, there are as many people who appreciate that, but fail to appreciate that there exist even worse things in our great big happy home here on Earth.

Democracy Now! have the whole video on their site:

Alternate streaming options here, including MPEG-4 which you can view with VLC, Windows Media Player, etc. (via the 'Open Network Stream'/'Open URL' options, respectively).
