The 2001 photo/blurb at right is par for the
course
as far as media coverage is concerned. Not one person has dared to ask Bush

Issam Aboud, a member of Iraq's civil defence team,
sits with his children in front of his house in Abu
al-Khaseeb village, Basra province May 24, 2001.
Issam lost his eyes and right arm while trying to
defuse a mine dropped by allied planes during the
1991 Gulf War over Kuwait. Iraq occasionally reports
people being killed by explosion of Gulf War bombs.
Basra is nearly 500 km (310 miles) to the south of Baghdad.
