Photographic Evidence

Sliding photos under the door

The military and the pentagon ignored all the reports of abuse for months until someone slipped a few photographs under the door.

There were reports from independent journalists and Iraqi's of Marine snipers targeting civilians and ambulance drivers in Fallujah.

Maybe someone should have slipped these photos under the door somewhere.

"Al-Nazzal told us about ambulances being hit by snipers, women and children being shot. Describing the horror that the siege of Fallujah had become, he said, "I have been a fool for 47 years. I used to believe in European and American civilization."

"I had heard these claims at third-hand before coming into Fallujah, but was skeptical. It's very difficult to find the real story here. But this I saw for myself. An ambulance with two neat, precise bullet-holes in the windshield on the driver's side, pointing down at an angle that indicated they would have hit the driver's chest (the snipers were on rooftops, and are trained to aim for the chest). Another ambulance again with a single, neat bullet-hole in the windshield. There's no way this was due to panicked spraying of fire. These were deliberate shots to kill people in driving the ambulances."
