Juan Cole tells us that the Italian magazine Diario — written in Italian and English — “has posted to its web site a film of Fallujah [video, which lasts 18 mins., 20 secs.] made by Iraqis (apparently by Iraqi government workers sent in to help with clean-up) …” From Dario:
It’s an important document since the city was closed to reporters at that moment. This video was handed over to the Italian weekly magazine Diario by the Studies Center of Human Rights and Democracy of Falluja. …
“Falluja-The day After” shows the total devastation of the Iraqi town, the corpses of the victims, the mass graves, the exhumation of many corpses by local rescue teams in order to try to recognize some of the victims. The last corpse shown … belongs to a 14 year old girl.
And that did not even include the Fallujah victims; therefore, 150,000-200,000 might be more accurate.
One of the great underreported atrocities of our time.
I haven’t watched the video yet. Did you?
It takes forever to load, even on my high-speed connection.
Probably because Juan Cole linked it. It’s HIS fault! Oh well … let’s try to remind each other to check it tomorrow or the next day.

This and similar videos have been available since the crusade began, but not often from websites of European papers or US bloggers…
