My predecessor at AP in the Middle East, John Moore, who is now with Getty Images, has a nice article in December’s Digital Journalist about his experiences photographing “The Widows of Dujail” – the women left behind after Saddam Hussein’s forces allegedly rounded up their fathers, husbands and sons in retaliation for a 1982 assassination attempt against him. With the Saddam Hussein trial starting to gear up – some of which I recently photographed – it’s a timely piece and some nice photography.
Also in the issue is a feature piece by Philip Robertson based on the new book “Unembedded” about working as a journalist in Iraq, and one by Ron Steinman on Paul Fusco’s photographs of funerals of American soldiers who died in Iraq, which was written about in a previous post on this site.
