[ This message has been sent to you via the CASI-analysis mailing list ] I guess most people are aware of the recent BBC reports regarding if US troops are causing more civilian deaths than the insurgeants. And the backtracking as well. Of course such figures wouldnt actually adjust for any possible black-ops by the reformed Mukhabarat, performing terrorist attacks that are blamed on opponents. Unfortunately this is primer 1 lesson for such organisations to garner support and mould public opinion in the direction they desire. However, most of you are probably aware of the story, sub media almost, of the parents of an Iraqi family being shot by American troops in their car. This was caught on camera by a press agency reporter. I have made a tinyurl link of a database search of some images that are available. http://tinyurl.com/5m3dq - I hope it works. You will notice that the photographer has being busy snapping throughout the whole episode from the very beginning (ie before or as shots were fired) all the way to the hospital. The pictures, although distressing, shouldnt prove too gory for any one to view. I am always very suspicious of the way news is created and the processes that would let a photographer to be present at such an incident. So if you do look at these images perhaps bear in mind that the photographer is also an actor in this incident. -- _______________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 _______________________________________ Sent via the CASI-analysis mailing list To unsubscribe, visit http://lists.casi.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/casi-analysis All postings are archived on CASI's website at http://www.casi.org.uk
