KILLING CIVILIANS: THE IMMORAL FACE OF WAR
On television, it looks so clean. On Sunday evening, the BBC showed burning civilian cars, its reporter — ‘embedded’ with American forces — saying that he saw some of their passengers lying dead beside them. That was all. No pictures of the charred corpses, no close-ups of the shriveled children. So perhaps I should warn those of what the BBC once called a nervous disposition to go no further. But if they want to know what America and Britain are doing to the innocent of Baghdad, they should read on.
