And the view of his friend and cameraman, Daniel Demoustier, who was
there and survived:
" I think it was a tragic accident."
Was it? I don't know, but I'd offer the word of a "friendly witness"
carries more weight than that of a politically-motivated contract
coroner (and for those who don't know, Mr. - NOT Dr. - Webster, the
coroner, is a barrister, not a medical doctor).
Well at least, RDean, you've done your homework, which as far as I'm
concerned is 95% of the problem. On the whole, I'm happy to disagree
with anyone who's bothered to check the facts.
On the other hand - you're not a lawyer or anything, are you?
Cos that quote was very selective.
You quoted 'I think it was a tragic accident.'
The full quote is:
I think it was a tragic accident. But why werenıt they (the Americans)
professional enough to hit the right cars? They kept firing at our car-
Iım angry about that now. But they must have been able to see the TV
markings. We were visible the whole time, we were only a few hundred
metres away.
The French ambassador in Kuwait told me he thinks the Americans kept
shooting at me because they wanted to eliminate the evidence. That
could mean they have deliberately buried the bodies of the others if
they were hit too. .
