U.S. Soldier: Who Cares About Dead Iraqis?

HeadlineMay 12, 2004

60 Minutes II is planning to air a home video from Iraq tonight where a young U.S. soldier who served at Abu Ghraib prison says on camera “We’ve already had two prisoners die — but who cares? That’s two less for me to worry about.” CBS said it is not going to identify the soldier by name. Two weeks ago, 60 Minutes II broadcast for the first time images of prison abuse in Iraq sparking the recent scandal.
