Abbas Saddam Shaghaty (34) squatters with his family the lavatory of a primary school in Sadr City. Abbas was badly tortured by the former Saddam regime, as he deserted from the Iraqi army. "There are no jobs, the school is closed, at night we can hardly sleep because of the mosquitoes, my wheat is almost finished and I have no money nor food. I must prepare myself to die", Abbas says. UNICEF director Carel de Rooy was more positive. "We can not and will not accept people like him dying. We can built schools in Saddam City from the donations we received. This provides jobs and income for many people and hope for a better future for the children. If we work really hard, all together, we can change this situation into something positive."

Iraqi man arrested by Bravo Company 1/8 Infantry, who found weapons and a remote control (often used for IEDs) in a hotel. The arrestees were blindfolded and handcuffed and then brought to a Bradley fighting vehicle. 'He tripped when we brought him to the Bradley,' the soldiers said. It appeared one of the prisoners broke his nose and a tooth. When he arrived at the improvised prison at the base and was photographed - by me - , the soldiers told him, 'Now the world will know how we treat terrorists.' The man did not receive medical care before the next afternoon.
