Why is Seymour Hersh the only one talking about the Abu Ghraib tapes?
Advertisements [?]
Given the fact that he's the only one talking about this, I can't help but feel a little suspicious. I know that the mainstream media in this country lost it's fangs years ago, but there are other reputable news organizations around the world that have a lot less to fear from this administration than any of the American outlets.

If Hersh is right in saying that videos from Abu Ghraib show young boys being sodomized by American guards, then isn't that something that people around the world, not just Americans, need to know? And wouldn't the BBC or some other media outlet grow some journalistic gonads and expose this to the world?
