I recently attended a screening of the documentary film Falluja - The Hidden Massacre.
Produced by an Italian filmmaker, and containing interviews with former U.S. marines and others, it exposes the truth about the U.S. military's use of white phosphorus in Falluja (which is a violation of the Geneva Conventions and international human rights law).
The effect on civilians was, of course, devastating. (White phosphorus essentially melts the skin and organs, and it doesn't care whether you're a soldier or a civilian, or whether you're a man, a woman, or a little kid.)
The film contains some horrific footage. But everyone needs to see it. Hiding from the truth doesn't make it go away.
