    What was news-worthy was the end of the caption.

    I doubt they'd publish a proper photo for that. Who'd want to see it? X| :sigh:

      The folks that don't need a picture to see it. Probably. Hopefully...

        Hard to tell. It could also be .223 ammo. The visible part of the bullet seems shot to me for an AK47 round[^]. Any specialist here?

                for honest an objective reporting, the agency should have surmised that coalition forces threw the cartridges against her house, because the "pointy end" was still attached to the "non-pointy end" of both.

                Nah. She said "they were shooting our house! With bullets!" and - reaching in her sons pockets, pulling out two cartridges - "just like these!" Does that mean the war didn't happen and Iraq is a rose-colored gloryland? :shrug: Sometimes you people sound like. The video you linked spent minutes on elaborating a technical detail. ponder this.

                  That sounds like a big conspiracy where everyone from an old Iraqui woman to Rupert Murdoch is involved. Try again :)

                      I would rather tend to believe that in our media-oriented workd, if there is no picture then it does not exist.

                        Huh? That's all it takes for you to call it a "big conspiracy" and brush it under the rug? Wow!

                          More technical, that explanation doesn't survive Hanlons razor, and likely neither Occams razor.

                            I'd accept that the Iraqi woman knows nothing about cartridges vs. bullets - but I refuse to believe that an AFP war correspondent / photo journalist and his/her editors don't. It defies reason.
