Winter Soldiers Tell Their Tales of War

Republican presidential hopeful John McCain and Vice President Dick Cheney are on separate trips to Iraq today – touting the war's supposed success. Yet 36 people were killed and 50 more injured when a woman suicide bomber struck in Karbala. At least two US soldiers were also killed by a roadside bomb in Baghdad.

Meanwhile, more than 200 members of Iraq Veterans Against the War gathered in College Park, Maryland this weekend for the historic Winter Soldier hearings. They spent the weekend sharing their stories and visions for the future before a closed audience, and for a live television, radio and internet broadcast. For many, it was the first time they were able to tell the story of their experiences in the military. FSRN's Sarah Olson has more.
