Vladislav Davidzonthe art of doing the impossible – thoughts on the great turning

Ugh. From AlJazeera:

“Rashid Hamid Wali, an Aljazeera television worker, was killed early Friday morning while filming clashes in the flashpoint Iraqi city of Karbala. “He looked up to try to locate the place of the US military vehicles, but he was shot in the head by machine guns,” said Muhammad.

He died instantly. There was a power cut followed by a heavy exchange of fire as US vehicles rumbled by, he said. “We could not confirm the source of the fire but it was directly pointed at us,” said Muhammad. Another nine civilians were killed in the fighting”.
