Over lunch on a sultry Baghdad day, Iraqi businessman Mohammed Jawad talked camels and corruption. "Iraq is like a camel," he said. "If it is healthy, no one can kill it. But when it is sick on the ground, the camel dies by a thousand knives."

This is so sick I can’t begin to describe it.

This is exactly the kind of footage people need to see. Spread it around!!

It's graphic, but necessary. This is but a small taste of what war is, always has been, and always will be about. Not ideology, not bringing "freedom" to those "less fortunate", not moving blips on a radar screen or graphed statistics, but real human death and the warping of soldiers' minds.

End it. And not just in Iraq (UFPJ). Everywhere!
