"You Haven't Begun To See Evil"

"He said 'You haven't begun to see evil...' then trailed off. He said, 'horrible things done to children of women prisoners, as the cameras run.' "

Rick Pearlstein, quoting from Seymour Hersh's remarks last week at the University of Chicago.

Mr. Pearlstein's notes of Seymour Hersh's remarks are reported by Brad DeLong. Mr. DeLong's blog is essential reading. There are still many who wish to avert their eyes from what has been done in Iraq in our names, to ignore the crimes committed by the Deserter and his neocon henchman. We are indeed face to face with evil, and we mustn't blink. A painful reckoning is nigh, and then our national shame will end.
