SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Just days after the suspected massacre of two dozen civilians in Haditha in an incident now under investigation, an American photographer confronted U.S. Marines with the images of the dead, including Iraqi children.
Freelance photographer Lucian Read, 31, had spent months capturing shots of Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment. But when Iraqis invited him to photograph their dead two days after the Haditha killings in November 2005, he felt compelled to show the images to the platoon.
