People who want to go back into that city (Fallujah) have to get retina scans, all ten fingers fingerprinted, then they're issued an ID card. People inside the city are referring to it as a big jail. It is a horrendous situation.

Shoot the Messenger

Last November when a US marine shot dead an unarmed, wounded Iraqi in a Fallujah mosque, the story created international headlines. In fact, it was the biggest scandal to hit the US military in Iraq since Abu Ghraib. What we still don't know is what actually went on outside the frame of that now infamous image?

All is quiet in Falluja, or at least that is how it seems, given that the mainstream media has largely forgotten about the Iraqi city. But independent journalists are risking life and limb to bring out a very different story.

The Iraqi and U.S. governments have pledged hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild this war-ravaged city in a bid to persuade Sunni Muslim Arabs to support the country's emerging democracy. But progress in paying reparations in the notorious Sunni city has been slow. U.S. military officials warn that failure to win over Fallujah's embittered population could endanger efforts to get the rest of the Sunni Triangle — the heart of the country's insurgency — to participate in building a new Iraq.

They see absolutely no justification for this war and were constantly asking me to explain how the American people can support these acts against a civilian population. For the first time in my life, I was ashamed to be an American.
