Winter Soldier

Hi,

I usually don't send videos around (as I said once before), but this one -- the testimony of a soldier during the Winter Soldier hearings -- is something to see and hear, indeed. 
The guy does not describe atrocities (committed in Iraq) of the magnitude that other soldiers have described during the hearings.  But his social consciousness is exceptional.  It's in two parts:

P.S.  You can hear the live hearings at http://ivaw.org DON'T enter "www.wintersoldier.com" since that is a right-wing site, set  up to make the real winter soldiers (of the '70's and today) look bad.
