Winter soldier

In a now-famous event in 1971, US veterans of the Vietnam war testified in an unofficial hearing about war crimes they had witnessed or committed during that conflict. It was called Winter Soldier, and featured young political hopeful John Kerry.

Today, an echo of that event is occurring, called Winter Soldier Iraq and Afghanistan, sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Their web site features audio and video feeds from that event:
