Chupense ésta, Sierra y Cardozo !

Michael Yon, un periodista en serio, con un par de pelotas de acero al cromo-molibdeno.

El tipo va embebido con las tropas, nada de quedarse en el hotel en Bagdad para él. Y reporta la verdad de lo que se ve en Irak hoy. Y lo que se empieza a ver es esto :


"I photographed men and women, both Christians and Muslims, placing a cross atop the St. John's Church in Baghdad. They had taken the cross from storage and a man washed it before carrying it up to the dome. A Muslim man had invited the American soldiers from 'Chosen' Company 2-12 Cavalry to the church, where I videotaped as Muslims and Christians worked and rejoiced at the reopening of St John's, an occasion all viewed as a sign of hope. The Iraqis asked me to convey a message of thanks to the American people. 'Thank you, thank you,' the people were saying. One man said, 'Thank you for peace.' Another man, a Muslim, said 'All the people, all the people in Iraq, Muslim and Christian, is brother.' The men and women were holding bells, and for the first time in memory freedom rang over the ravaged land between two rivers. (Videotape to follow.)"

"If things continue to go well, this photo should win a Pulitzer."

"Thanks to the lens of Michael Yon, we can see a fuller, truer picture of Iraq than the 'grim milestone'-driven legacy media lens allows us to see. That deserves thanks and praise, too."

"Michael Yon is making this photograph available to media outlets, such as print publications and cable and television news broadcasts, at no cost for a limited period of time. For more information, please contact us here."
