Yeah, it’s a green helmet guy kind of picture. Do you notice the interesting camera angle and the dramatic holding the child aloft? If the photographer had been at ground level, it wouldn’t have been nearly as impactful. I wonder how many takes the picture took to get it right.
It’s really interesting to do a search on Scroogle for “Karim Kadim” and Associated Press, and see the list of pictures ol’ Kadim was able to get of just about every “civilian” injured or killed in the Sadr city fighting. Boy, is he ever good! He and his comrades have such perfect timing and capabilities that they are in the right place at exactly the right time, all the time. I’ll bet Michael Yon would give his flak vest for that kinda good fortune, and knowing exactly where to be at what time to get the Pulitzer Prize winning pictures.
Oh, that’s right, Yon’s on the wrong side. He’d never even be considered for the leftist PP. Only good socialists/liberals/muslims/”freedom fighters” need apply.
