In a reprise of the Winter Soldier hearings, members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) will hold a forum to hear testimony from more than a dozen veterans of the war in Iraq who will share eyewitness accounts of the ongoing military occupation on Thursday, May 15. Testifiers, who are members of Iraq Veterans Against the War, will discuss the ineffectiveness of the President's “troop surge,” the dehumanization, abuse and killing of innocent Iraqi civilians, the strain that the continued occupation is having on military readiness and unmet need of Iraqi war veterans. The event, which is scheduled from 9:30am-12:30pm in 2261 Rayburn House Office Building, is open to members of the media, as well as the public.
