March date set for DC Veterans Speak-out

US War Vets to Speak Publicly About War Crimes - by Aaron Glantz: [Excerpt] "Iraq Veterans Against the War argues that well-publicized incidents of American brutality like the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and the massacre of an entire family of Iraqis in the town of Haditha are not the isolated incidents perpetrated by 'a few bad apples,' as many politicians and military leaders have claimed. They are part of a pattern, the group says, of 'an increasingly bloody occupation.' 'This is our generation getting to tell history,' Madden told OneWorld, 'to ensure that the actual history gets told – that it's not a sugar-coated, diluted version of what actually happened.'"
