arabic is a beautiful language. i wish i could understand it.

the second image is part of a short documentary that was on japanese tv last night: the middle aged man says he and his brother shoot down the apache. http://www.aljazeera.net/news/arabic/2003/3/3-25-10.htm

here are pictures of the would be pilots: http://www.aljazeera.net/news/arabic/2003/3/3-25-11.htm

i could not find pictures of american pows. but on (jp) tv last night there was a "pool" press conference with an officier telling al jazeera journalists that the us army did not appreciate at all that pows pictures were displayed on aj networks. a (seemingly) american journalist asked the officier "would you be saying that al jazeera should be considered hostile media" ? the officier replied "no" a little bit unconvincingly.

wonder how much pressure has been excerted on aj to have them remove obvious links to the pictures ?
