It's not Night of the Living Dead

but, Lord, this documentary from the Italian network RAI has photographs - of men, women and children with face skin burned off and teeth prominent - that remind me of the ghouls one sees in horror movies. What is truly horrible about this documentary (if it is corect) is that we, the US of A, and are using what in effect are chemical weapons on civilians as well as enemy forces.

This interview with a Pentagon spokesman, the director of the documentary and a soldier who appeared in the documentary is a classic in how to conduct an interview when you don't have a leg to stand on. All would-be flacks should study it.
