Journalist Seymour Hersh, who broke the Abu Ghraib prison torture story, is now saying the US has evidence showing that the abuse was even worse than previously reported. Although he has yet to report on it in the pages of the New Yorker, Hersh recently told a crowd in California that the US has videotape showing young male Iraqi prisoners being sodomized by U.S. troops at the prison. Hersh said “The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling, and the worst part is the soundtrack, of the boys shrieking.” He added, “this is your government at war.”
