I've just been to the Al-Jazeera website and seen the shattered skulls and stuff.

Imagine a shredded piece of light tan leather, flaps crumpled and disarrayed. Then add short black hair, and a delicate human ear. It shows you, in a way that no BBC correspondent can describe in words, exactly what war does to human beings that get caught in the way.

(The English version of the site's currently down because of hackers, so I skipped over to the Arabic version and just looked at the pictures. Full report on whether I think Al-Jazeera's impartial or not when the site's back up.)
