Seymour Hersh - another truth-teller
it's a pretty risky proposition these days to stand up in front of an audience in the u.s. and tell the truth... my hat is off...
Journalist Seymour Hersh described U.S. soldiers in Iraq as "victims," eliciting jeers and cheers from an audience of about 6,000 people at a college commencement on Monday.
Hersh, speaking to graduates of Fairleigh Dickinson University and their families, said American soldiers are "doing an admirable job under terrible conditions" but don't know much about the war they are fighting.
"They are as much victims as the people they are sometimes forced to kill," Hersh said. Submit To Propeller
