Title: Betrayal - The Lies and Losses of War Post by: bigron on August 04, 2010, 07:26:33 am Betrayal The Lies and Losses of War By Chris Hedges http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article26067.htm Journalist, author and Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges brought his years of experience in the world’s war-torn zones to bear on this challenging speech he gave in March for the Truth Commission on Conscience in War at New York City’s Riverside Church. In this clip, Hedges points out that Americans “are as capable of perpetuating evil as those who oppose us, and this existential crisis is one that turns those who have the courage to stand up and speak ... into outcasts, pariahs, prophets.” Can we get an amen? —KA Posted August 03, 2010 WATCH : Chris Hedges | Truth Commission on Conscience in War http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtS2xQu0Iy4&feature=player_embedded |
