THE UNSEEN GOLF WAR

During the first war in the Persian Gulf, U.S. citizens saw mostly
sanitized images of smart bombs hitting non-human targets. Images
of death and suffering were kept to a minimum, thanks in part to
the military's pool system which controlled the movements and
activities of most journalists. Photographer Peter Turnley refused
to participate in the pool system and managed to get pictures that
few people have seen. "Many people have asked the question 'how
many people died' during the war with Iraq and the question has
never been well answered," he writes. "Most of the photographs I
made of this scene have never been published anywhere and this has
always troubled me." Now a collection of his photographs is
available on the web.
