On the hunt for the enemy. Iraqi villagers have gathered at the river Tigris to search for the missing pilot.

Well, that's a small sample.

That picture looks painted, the way the light is very flat.

I saw the video footage of that incident. It looks as though Iraqi TV had broadcast the event for some time and civilians were curious to see what was going on. I don't recall ever actually seeing the person they were shooting at ..
 
Yeah I saw the live report too, I was not saying it was a fake, just that the picture looked like a painting to me.

From what I understand there was nothing to shoot at there, and they were just running around like morons.

Gen. Brooks (or some other guy) said "It looks like their search and rescue methods need a little refining", in regards to the incident, seemed pretty funny to me.

Deadly discovery


A British soldier holds a catalogue of photographs of dead people, as coffin-sized boxes with bags containing human remains are lined up in a warehouse at an abandoned Iraqi military base in Zubayr, southern Iraq, on Saturday. British forces said Saturday they had found an estimated 200 coffin-sized boxes containing hundreds of human remains along with a catalogue of photographs of the dead. Capt. Jack Kemp of the Royal Horse Artillery said he believed the people had been dead for several years.

Heavy fire
British AS 90 155mm self propelled guns of C Battery, 3 Regiment of the Royal Horse Artillery, fire on Iraqi targets from a position near the city of Basra in southern Iraq, on Saturday.
 
RE: Deadly Discovery

That is so sick it is almost hard to believe. I had hoped Saddam Hussein was dead as was being speculated a few days ago. At the moment though I doubt it as he appeared on TV again today (5th April 2003).

He might even be out of the country.

On a similar note, did anyone see the (UK ITV) interview with the Iraqi exile who was forced to become a double for one of Saddam's sons? It was frightening. Curiously, though he had no love whatsoever for the regime, he was still against the war.
 
saw it, very interesting interview. I thought he was against it because the casualties might be high, and the US might not finish the job.

So, let me get this strait. If your running a Meth-lab in your basement and are selling it to kids and your neighbor found out; he told you to get rid of the Lab immediatly or he'll call the police. So, you refuse and he calls... For the next 12 years, a negotiator is talking to the Meth dealer on the phone - to no avail. Next thing you know, SWAT blows off your door and comes charging into your house. You retreat to the bathroom, unbeknownst to them, with your 6 month old kid and slam the door shut. As SWAT approaches you start randomly shooting out the door. SWAT breaches the door and in the CQB an unidentified shot (from either party, as it's irrelevent) hit the child. As soon as the dealer is dead, SWAT rushes in and saves the kids life.

So, your telling me it's SWATs (or society at large's) fault that the kid was injured? If anything SWAT should be commended for removing the treat to the community, and freeing that child to live a life outside the realm of the methhead - a life that the child had no control over, a life that was unable to defend itself, a life that society had to protect.

I* happen to think the fault is as follow:

(a) Meth-dealer's fault for having a Meth-Lab
(b) Meth-dealer's fault for using the kid as a shield
(c) Meth-dealer's fault for even raising a kid in that enviroment

What a convenient example...make that e.g. 10 family members and SWAT kill 2 when storming the place.
And SWAT knew people would likely die when they storm the place.
Were the lives of the killed really worth it?
