The Humanitarian Mission of the 1st BCT (lst Brigade Combat Team)
A documentary by Sigfrido Ranucci and Maurizio Torrealta aired on the first anniversary later in Italy on RAI News T.V. That same day Democracy Now! aired excerpts of the film and interviewed the film's producer, one of the two soldiers who appeared in the film, and a Pentagon official in Iraq. Be sure to watch the entire film if you haven't seen it. War is hell, but we've been spared the hell the Bush administration has visited on the people of Iraq. Americans are expected to accept that the people who did this to an Iraqi city have come back home to protect our cities and conduct humanitarian missions? Their training--programming, if you will--and experience have been to conduct crimes against humanity.
- Dahr Jamail, speaking on Democracy Now!, November 2004:
“I have interviewed many refugees over the last week coming out of Fallujah at different times from different locations within the city. The consistent stories that I have been getting have been refugees describing phosphorus weapons, horribly burned bodies, fires that burn on people when they touch these weapons, and they are unable to extinguish the fires even after dumping large amounts of water on the people. Many people are reporting cluster bombs, as well. And these are coming from the camps that I have been to, different people who have emerged from Fallujah anywhere from one week ago up to on through up toward near the very beginning of the siege.”
