Abu Ghraib abuse, murder, hell
Former Army Reserve Specialist Aidan Delgado spoke to Democracy Now!. He served in Iraq from April 2003 to April 2004 where he was deployed in Nasiriyah and Abu Ghraib
AIDAN DELGADO: Prisoners........were throwing tent stakes and pieces of stone and debris. And they had struck one of the soldiers with a rock. He wasn't seriously injured, but he was annoyed. And so in response, they had asked for the permission to use lethal force............... So, they opened fire with a heavy machine gun and they killed five prisoners-- several of whom took several days to die. This is something that I learned about from the horse's mouth when they came back and told me, "Oh, here is a photo of the guys we killed. I killed three, I killed two. My guy took three days to die, I shot him in the groin with a machine gun" Transcript here Video here
