Urging Obama to Stop Rush to Iran War

History and Bradley Manning: Ray reminisces about the outright lies told by top U.S. generals in Vietnam regarding enemy forces there, the Tonkin Gulf incident, and other senior-level fraud that prolonged the carnage. He discusses Bradley Manning’s unusually prompt release of documentary evidence of abuses in Iraq and elsewhere, comparing it with Dan Ellsberg’s too-late-to-make-much-of-a-difference release of the Pentagon Papers, and with Ray’s own regretful decision to hide behind his security promise rather than follow his conscience — as Bradley Manning and Dan summoned the courage to do. 36min- takes a little while to load.

Bradley Manning finally in court at Fort Meade, MD

For those willing to devote 12 minutes to watching/hearing first-hand how war brutalizes not only our Army’s targets but also our Army’s men and women, this is MUST SEE video cum commentary re July 12, 2007 Apache helicopter attack on Iraqi civilians in Baghdad during the celebrated “surge.”
