Dahr Jamail - IPS News - July 5, 2008
U.S. journalist Zoriah Miller says he was censored by the U.S. military in the Iraqi city of Fallujah after photographing Marines who
died in a suicide bombing. On Jun. 26, a suicide bomber attacked a city council meeting in Fallujah, 69 kms west of Baghdad,
between local tribal sheikhs and military officials. Three Marines, Cpl. Marcus Preudhomme, Capt. Philip Dykeman, and Lt. Col.
Max Galeai, assigned to 2d Battalion, 3rd Marine Division based in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, died in the attack.
… Miller explained to IPS that he meticulously showed his photos to the Marines he was with to make sure he was not going to
show any photos that would upset the family members of the deceased Marines. "They were all okay with them, so then about 96
hours after the bombing I published the photos on my blog." - Then things got interesting.
