~ more allegations of child abuse at the hands of american soldiers in abu ghraib prison are being floated by seymour hersh. the transcript of the speech in which he disclosed the information is at pastspeak [w] and a link to the video in question is at dailykos [w]. we are hesitant to believe the accusations until the evidence has been presented – not that we are enthusiastic about seeing these things – but the fact that the gov’t declared publicly that there are more images and videos that they are not going to release is consistent with the notion of the existence of the things that hersh describes.
