This lot was the most disgusting/horrific images I've ever seen in my life. How any asshole can tell a pack of lies and send people to war - I just don't know.
Some were actually "nice" pics, but the impact was the real truth images of what is actually happening.
It is ironical that there is a count of US soldiers dead, but nothing of the many more killed in this "war" - not even one of Rumsfeld's "rough guesses".
One day we will see some of these images published and see the truth. This guy is well-known for his war photography and been published in almost every country - but knows, based on the Vietnam times, no magazine will touch this material at this time.
I learn't a lot seeing this material... and will be interesting to see more - he is back in the midst of the "war" at the moment digging out what he hopes will capture some truth.
Nothing can justify this shit - no country is "entitled" to kill others unless they are attacked.

They never publicize how many Iraqi's have been killed, nor will they ever. That's bad press for the White House boys.
