Winter Soldier Conference: 5 Years into Iraq War, Soldiers tell their Stories
Today is the 5th anniversary of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq. This week in Washington, returning soldiers have gathered for an event called “Winter Soldier,” to share their stories and make public their eyewitness accounts and confess their participation in atrocities and war crimes committed by the US Military, inspired by the 1971 Winter Soldier hearings on the Vietnam War.
The event has not been covered at all by the corporate media, except in the local news section of the Washington Post.
Democracy Now! has extensive coverage of the event and can be accessed here.
