The Other War: Iraq Vets Bear Witness
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/071107R.shtml
The Nation's Chris Hedges and Laila al-Arian write: "Over the past several
months The Nation has interviewed fifty combat veterans of the Iraq war from
around the United States in an effort to investigate the effects of the
four-year-old occupation on average Iraqi civilians. These combat veterans, some
of whom bear deep emotional and physical scars, and many of whom have come to
oppose the occupation, gave vivid, on-the-record accounts. They described a
brutal side of the war rarely seen on television screens or chronicled in
newspaper accounts."
