Evidence for Hersh's claims of child sexual abuse at Abu Ghraib

An update from Boing Boing, posted by, who else, Xani J.  I have a hard time believing all this shiite.  I'm sure the truth will come out soon enough.

On a similar note, do read Krugman's article in today's NYT. Here is the opening paragraph of the article:

In the original version of "The Manchurian Candidate," Senator John Iselin, whom Chinese agents are plotting to put in the White House, is a right-wing demagogue modeled on Senator Joseph McCarthy. As Roger Ebert wrote, the plan is to "use anticommunist hysteria as a cover for a communist takeover."

You can see where he is going.  Its a disturbingly apt parrellel.
