This question is bugging me?

Who took the film footage and the photos?

If it were a journalist, why didn't the mob turn on them?

If it was a local, why would they take such "damning evidence"?

If it were a journalist, why didn't the mob turn on them?

For maximum effect, they didn't want it to be just a local story, but to horrify as many as inhumanly possible.

I heard that it was a journalist and that the mob ASKED him to record it all so the world could see it. I suspect they were quite proud of their atrocity and wanted Americans to "learn their lesson."

I, for one, am really angry about this. What kind of ungrateful pigs are we trying to help?

Brit Hume said yesterday that Arab journalists were taking the footage and passing it on to our outlets. Very brave of them, actually.
By the way, if we are feeding all these people, why don't we cut off ALL the food to Fallujah until the people get hungry enough to turn in the men who did this? We don't even have to call it a seige, just say it's too dangerous now for any of our food and aid convoys to travel to this God-forsaken place. After all the great humanitarian agency itself, the UN, has done exactly this after its building was bombed in Baghdad, so they couldn't say much if we left Fallujah to starve.

Who took the footage? My bet is an Arab Islam AP photo journalist.

I saw photos Mon or Tues, photos taken by an AP photographer, of the terrorists in Iraq loading and shooting mortars. Why don't these "reporters" turn in some of these thugs?

They have a degree of guilt hanging around their neck.

From thread linked: "And don't think that Associated Press Television just happened to turn up at the right place at the right time for the burning and hacking of corpses.

After all, last week the AP had dramatic on-the-spot, perfectly timed, close-up photographs of insurgents firing RPGs at Coalition troops.

Clearly, someone at AP has a mutually beneficial relationship with the insurgents in Fallujah."

If it was a local, why would they take such "damning evidence"?

Because they don't care who sees it, matter of fact I'm sure they want everyone to see these pictures because they are proud of what they have done and would probably do it again given the right circumstances.

If it was a local, why would they take such "damning evidence"?

Because, dear one, these subhuman animals are HINO (humans in name only).

Some people will can never accept that there are homo sapiens in the world in 2004, who can behave with such wanton and genuine lust for blood and killing for the sheer pleasure of it. They would rather cling to the illusion that we can "negotiate" with them or reason our way through behavior that is perfectly "normal" for them.

Please note the number of "children" participating in the bloody celebration and cheering the killers...

The mob didn't turn on them because they wanted it shown on the television. They wanted us to be so angry that we'd cut tail and run. Just like Somalia. They won't get it their way this time.

Exactly the same question I had. Why were they allowed to take pictures? To send a message? And, can the photojournalists be forced to identify the perpetrators? Yes, I say.
