00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:02.520 align:middle line:90%
This one is called "News--

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:16.600 align:middle line:84%
[AUDIO OUT] [INAUDIBLE] --but
no words of the writer have been

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:17.650 align:middle line:90%
added to it.

00:00:17.650 --> 00:00:20.440 align:middle line:90%


00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:26.200 align:middle line:84%
It's a little hard to read
because one voice is the--

00:00:26.200 --> 00:00:30.340 align:middle line:84%
narrator is like a
journalist, narrator.

00:00:30.340 --> 00:00:36.490 align:middle line:84%
And then there are
quotes from people

00:00:36.490 --> 00:00:40.240 align:middle line:90%
the journalist interviewed.

00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:44.860 align:middle line:84%
One could do that with quotation
marks and the use of italics

00:00:44.860 --> 00:00:48.700 align:middle line:84%
visually, but to indicate
all of that with one's voice

00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:55.720 align:middle line:84%
is a little difficult. So I
will read it as best I can.

00:00:55.720 --> 00:00:58.540 align:middle line:84%
"What you saw was
a bunch of trenches

00:00:58.540 --> 00:01:03.550 align:middle line:84%
with arms sticking
out, plows mounted

00:01:03.550 --> 00:01:07.770 align:middle line:90%
on tanks, combat earth movers.

00:01:07.770 --> 00:01:09.360 align:middle line:90%
Defiant.

00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:10.810 align:middle line:90%
Buried.

00:01:10.810 --> 00:01:14.520 align:middle line:90%
Carefully planned and rehearsed.

00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:18.940 align:middle line:84%
When we went through,
there wasn't anybody left.

00:01:18.940 --> 00:01:21.970 align:middle line:90%
Awarded Silver Star.

00:01:21.970 --> 00:01:24.960 align:middle line:90%
Reporters banned.

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:28.450 align:middle line:90%
Not a single American killed.

00:01:28.450 --> 00:01:31.660 align:middle line:90%
Body count, impossible.

00:01:31.660 --> 00:01:36.970 align:middle line:84%
For all I know, thousands,
said Colonel Moreno.

00:01:36.970 --> 00:01:41.290 align:middle line:84%
What you saw was a bunch of
buried trenches with people's

00:01:41.290 --> 00:01:45.160 align:middle line:90%
arms and things sticking out.

00:01:45.160 --> 00:01:48.930 align:middle line:84%
Secretary Cheney
made no mention.

00:01:48.930 --> 00:01:52.500 align:middle line:84%
Every single American was
inside the juggernaut,

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:57.190 align:middle line:90%
impervious to small-arms fire.

00:01:57.190 --> 00:02:01.660 align:middle line:84%
I know burying people like
that sounds pretty nasty,

00:02:01.660 --> 00:02:09.990 align:middle line:84%
said Colonel Maggart, but
his force buried about 650

00:02:09.990 --> 00:02:14.110 align:middle line:90%
in a thinner line of trenches.

00:02:14.110 --> 00:02:17.530 align:middle line:90%
People's arms sticking out.

00:02:17.530 --> 00:02:22.830 align:middle line:84%
Every American inside
the juggernaut.

00:02:22.830 --> 00:02:27.360 align:middle line:84%
I'm not going to sacrifice
the lives of my soldiers,

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:28.800 align:middle line:90%
Moreno said.

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.525 align:middle line:90%
It's not cost-effective.

00:02:30.525 --> 00:02:33.110 align:middle line:90%


00:02:33.110 --> 00:02:36.430 align:middle line:84%
The tactic was
designed to terrorize,

00:02:36.430 --> 00:02:42.080 align:middle line:84%
Lieutenant Colonel Hawkins
said, who helped devise it.

00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:47.180 align:middle line:84%
Schwartzkopf's staff privately
estimated 50,000 to 70,000

00:02:47.180 --> 00:02:50.730 align:middle line:90%
killed in the trenches.

00:02:50.730 --> 00:02:54.750 align:middle line:84%
Private Joe Queen was
awarded a Bronze Star

00:02:54.750 --> 00:03:00.090 align:middle line:84%
for burying trenches
with his earth mover.

00:03:00.090 --> 00:03:03.060 align:middle line:90%
Inside the juggernaut.

00:03:03.060 --> 00:03:05.290 align:middle line:90%
Impervious.

00:03:05.290 --> 00:03:12.220 align:middle line:84%
A lot of the guys were scared,
he said, but I enjoyed it.

00:03:12.220 --> 00:03:19.570 align:middle line:84%
A bunch of trenches, people's
arms and things sticking out.

00:03:19.570 --> 00:03:20.515 align:middle line:90%
Cost-effective."

00:03:20.515 --> 00:03:26.824 align:middle line:90%


00:03:26.824 --> 00:03:30.720 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:03:30.720 --> 00:03:33.650 align:middle line:90%


00:03:33.650 --> 00:03:36.230 align:middle line:84%
I forgot to read part
of the title, which

00:03:36.230 --> 00:03:40.550 align:middle line:84%
was the actual headline
in The Seattle Times,

00:03:40.550 --> 00:03:44.963 align:middle line:84%
"US Buried Iraqi Soldiers
Alive in Gulf War."
