“Imagine someone from CNN doing that...”

Someone from CNN would probably have been on the detonator.

Embedded With the Resistance
Iraqi ‘Terrorists’ Tell Their Story in Harper’s
By Peter Carlson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, June 1, 2004; Page C01

When reporter Patrick Graham asked his Iraqi friend Mohammed why he was fighting against the Americans, Mohammed said he was inspired by the Mel Gibson movie “Braveheart.”

“Did you see ‘Braveheart’?” he asked Graham. “They throw out the British and the corrupt nobles. It is about hope. The people in the movie want freedom and so do we.”

Graham’s article — “Beyond Fallujah: A Year With the Iraqi Resistance,” in the June issue of Harper’s magazine — is the most nuanced portrait I’ve yet read about the men who are fighting us in Iraq. They are, Graham reveals, more complex and more human than you’d gather from media oversimplifications about “terrorists” and “Saddam loyalists.”
