Background - Falluja, November
13th, 2004 “[…] I see an old man in a red kaffiyeh lying against the back wall.
Another is face down next to him, his hand on the old man’s lap - as if he
were trying to take cover. I squat beside them, inches away and begin to
videotape them. […] “While I continue to tape, a marine walks up to the other two bodies
about 15 feet away, but also lying against the same back wall. Then I hear
him say this about one of the men: ‘He’s fucking faking he’s dead - he’s
faking he’s fucking dead.’ Through my viewfinder I can see him raise the
muzzle of his rifle in the direction of the wounded Iraqi. There are no
sudden movements, no reaching or lunging. […] Instead, he pulls the trigger.
There is a small splatter against the back wall and the man’s leg slumps
down. ‘Well he's dead now,’ says another marine in the background. […]” Excerpt from a
“Guardian” article from
