Hundreds killed and wounded
in Falluja siege, which has been undertaken
with complete restriction against
journalists entering the city.
Aljazeera was already there...
unfortunately accustomed
to being targets themselves.
"Recall that during the US involvement
in Vietnam, every civilian killed
by US forces was labeled
a 'Viet Cong sapper.'
Here, they are all 'insurgents' or 'bad guys.'
"Fallujah remains under siege.
Iraqis from all over the country
are converging to protest...
This occupation by Marines,
uncomfortably reminiscent of
Israeli Defense Force tactics
on the West Bank and Gaza,
seems to be uniting Iraqis
against the US military."
