In case one missed Seymour Hersh on O'Reilly - Transcript

snip


O'REILLY: All right. Well, the damage to the country obviously is just
immeasurable. But reading your article in "The New Yorker." I just get
the feeling that the Army, when they heard about it, started action
almost immediately. It wasn't a cover-up situation. Or did I read your
article wrong?

HERSH: This guy Taguba is brilliant. He could have made a living
doing -- it's a credit to the Army that somebody with that kind of
integrity would write this kind of -- it's 53-page report.

O'REILLY: OK, but Sanchez the commander put him in charge fairly
quickly. They mobilized fairly quickly.

HERSH: No, look, I don't want to ruin your evening, but the fact of the
matter is it was the third investigation. There had been two other
investigations.

One of them was done by a major general who was involved in
Guantanamo, General Miller. And it's very classified, but I can tell you
that he was recommending exactly doing the kind of things that
happened in that prison, basically. He wanted to cut the lines. He
wanted to put the military intelligence in control of the prison.

Nice interview. The dynamic revealed.

sorry I missed it.

some serious spinning for BushCo by implying that these prisoners must have been guilty of something to have ended up in the jail in the first place. So the logical assumption is that it really isn't such a big deal because they were all bad guys anyway.

Unfrigginbelievable.

:dem:

he basically says this whole thing is the result of extreme rot originating at the top. somebody needed to say it. i almost flew into my dashboard when diane brought up the so-done-stick-a-fork-in-it argument that 9/11 changed things. wtf diane? i sure hope she was just playing devil's advocate.

HERSH: First of all, it's going to get much worse. This kind of stuff was much more widespread. I can tell you just from the phone calls I've had in the last 24 hours, even more, there are other photos out there. There are many more photos even inside that unit. There are videotapes of stuff that you wouldn't want to mention on national television that was done. There was a lot of problems.

There was a special women's section. There were young boys in there. There were things done to young boys that were videotaped. It's much worse. And the Maj. Gen. Taguba was very tough about it. He said this place was riddled with violent, awful actions against prisoners.
