This month, for four days in Washington, DC, beginning on March 13, there will be a second Winter Soldier gathering -- 37 years after the first. Organized by the protest group Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), US veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan since the 9/11 attack on New York will testify about their experiences.
They will present photographs and videos, recorded with mobile phones and digital cameras, to back up their allegations -- of brutality, torture and murder.
The veterans are not against the military and seek not to indict it -- instead they seek to shine a light on the bigger picture: that the Abu Ghraib prison regime and the Haditha massacre of innocent Iraqis are not isolated incidents perpetrated by "bad seeds" as the military suggests, but evidence of an endemic problem. They will say they were tasked to do terrible things and point the finger up the chain of command, which ignores, diminishes or covers up routine abuse and atrocities.

LOL Like they're gonna video it "Hold on guys before you fire at civillians let me video your faces so when I get outtta here I can show it to the media and IVAW."
No video needed. How about witnesses, names, locations, times and a formal investigation. Instead their agenda is political agiprop with little or no basis in documented fact. And why not. Facts are not needed if you tell the media want they want to hear.
No, I just have a powerful bullshit detector. Crimes should be reported and criminals should be punished. If you are going to hurl accusations, be prepared to back it up or STFU.
