In Iraq, Carnage, Anger and Grief
After Bombs Kill 43 in Baghdad, Broadcasters Air Citizens' Frustration
........BAGHDAD, Aug. 17 -- In the hours after a triple car bombing in the
Iraqi capital Wednesday, state television broadcast a montage of faces of random
children -- some appearing solemn, some smiling, some slyly glancing up at the
camera. In the background, mournful music swelled, and the faces gave way to the
bright flash of a car bomb, shown in slow motion.
"They were young but were
turned to pieces of flesh," the singers lamented, as the network then broadcast
footage of previous attacks showing limp children, wailing men and distraught
women dressed in black abayas pushing through crowds. "Oh, oh Iraq, the land of
bloodshed."...............
