Crimes in Iraq: Iraq Is an All-opportunity Meat Grinder
A man of about 40 walks around the corpses festooning the hospital room, which has been made into a makeshift morgue. The corpses lie silent, hapless, yet serene.
The camera zooms in on the corpses, these despicable terrorists out to destroy normalcy, civilization, order, democracy, and faith.
The first is an infant of nine months, probably a boy, as he is wrapped in white and blue infant clothes. His mouth is gaping open, as if his little body instinctively gasped for its last breath. His eyes are open, staring into the nothingness.

The first is an infant of nine months, probably a boy, as he is wrapped in white and blue infant clothes. His mouth is gaping open, as if his little body instinctively gasped for its last breath. His eyes are open, staring into the nothingness.
The second terrorist—supporter of Jordanian-born mastermind Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi—is a young girl of four. She lies on a white sheet crowned by a pool of blood under her head, which seems peculiarly small compared to the rest of her body. The camera moves in to get a closer look and immediately the reason for the disproportionality is understood: the back of her head is not there, lost somewhere in the rubble of her home destroyed by yet another US precision strike against terrorists.
The camera quickly rebounds.
Next to her, another terrorist, a boy of about five, is caught in the last desperate moments.
“They were all from one family,” says the man moving about the bodies.
He covers the faces of the children and motions to a table where two women lie. The camera lingers on their faces just long enough to show the viewer that they are women and then recoils in observance of local custom regarding filming women.
Even in death, honor is supreme in this traditional city.
The video of the above scenes was broadcast throughout the Arab World and most of Europe. It was not seen in America.
Two days earlier, the scene could have been repeated had it not been for luck and some divine faith.
Another precision strike had leveled a home in the center of Fallujah.
