It's been a while since I've blogged on the Winter Soldier hearings, but I haven't forgotten them. You shouldn't either.

Sleep deprivation has been a common method of torturing Iraqis during the occupation. I hadn't heard before that mock executions were one of the methods of forcing people to stay awake.



The YouTube page has the following description:

WINTER SOLDIER: CAMILO MEJIA
Staff Sergeant Mejia served six months in Iraq with the Florida National Guard.

One of the many things that makes me so angry about the war is that our National Guard are being used for the occupation of Iraq and the imposition of suffering and death on Iraqis instead of being here at home to help Americans deal with natural disasters. This is so sick and wrong.

Mejia also makes important statements on the dehumanization of our troops and the Iraqi people.
