The Truth About the Attack at Sea

 "People were thrown on the deck. Windows were blown out. Flash bangs were used. One of our journalists was hit with something of an electric shock. … One of the women was hit in the face, in the nose, with one of the liquid-filled balls. They were very excessively rough, excessively forceful… They weren’t stopping us at all. We were already dead in the water, and yet all of this force was used on us." - Ann Wright, Democracy Now, June 3, 2010

Start: 7:00 pm
