Meanwhile, a British reporter has videotape showing American soldiers deliberately shooting a wounded Iraqi from a helicopter as he crawls out from under a flaming truck, which is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. But for all practical purposes, this war crime hasn’t occurred...yet. In the U.S., the video has aired only on ABC, and so far the obscurity of this story is a weird mimicry of the prisoner abuse revelations, which had aired on CBS almost a full week before the issue exploded onto front pages and presidential announcements of shock.

...better view of the situation, John Sparkman guns his flame-red truck up a massive pile of gravel. From the summit, a lifeless brown wasteland stretches to the horizon, like a scene from a science-fiction movie. Mountains of mine tailings, some as tall as 13-story buildings, others as wide as four football fields, loom over streets, homes, churches and schools.

...long road to Baghdad—“It reminds me of Mad Max,” he says of the ravaged city—Carlson says his driver’s car was passed by a truck with weapon-bearing men inside. When the truck returned a few minutes later with a second truck, no more friendly, Carlson says his driver’s agile stuntwork at the wheel might well be the only thing that prevented an instant death in the desert...
