(01. September 2004) Who fired on the hotel, and why?

The answer to the first question was clear because the whole
incident was filmed.

As to why, no clear answer has yet been given. Just brief statements, lies, deception, arrogance, expressions of regret, condolences and calls for investigation. Efforts to have the initial version accepted while attention turns to new tragedies. Fleeting emotions. Life must go on.

Protsyuk and Couso weren’t famous. They didn’t work for big
US newspapers and you couldn’t see them on prime-time TV. We saw the footage they produced without knowing it was theirs. They died. Four months later, a US military investigation was “completed” in a bid to hastily return them to anonymity.

This report is dedicated to them.
