KPFA broadcasts the Winter Soldier hearing on Capitol Hill, where Iraq war veterans will speak to members of Congress about the hard realities of the US occupation of Iraq. The special hearing to the Out of Iraq Caucus will be hosted by Aimee Allison and Aaron Glantz, part of the team that recently was nominated for a Project Censored award for KPFA's coverage of the Winter Soldier gathering in March.


On May 15th, Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) and the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) begin the process of righting this imbalance with Winter Soldier on the Hill. Nine members of IVAW will testify under oath before the CPC about rules of engagement, the killing and abuse of civilians, the use of drop weapons, and the true consequences of the "surge."

Thanks for Posting this. I wish I was able to find the video of today's events at this time. I'll post it when I find it. If you haven't heard of IVAW or Iraq Veterans Against the War go to their website and check them out. Body of War is a new film that features a member of the Kansas City Chapter of IVAW, the one I belong to. IVAW does these types of events all the time with Winter Soldier and our push for a hell of a Veterans Day. Please show your support of this group and their activities. I find buying a T-shirt in support of the guys is very effective.
