Al-Jamadi walked into the shower room under his own power, and one hour later al-Jamadi was dead.
SABRINA HARMAN: It was just to say, “Hey, look, it’s a dead guy. We’re with a dead guy.” It wasn’t anything — I guess we weren’t really thinking, “Hey, this guy has family,” or anything like that, or “Hey, this guy was just murdered.” It was just, “Hey, it’s a dead guy, it’d be cool to get a photo next to a dead person.” I mean that was it. That was the extent of that one… I know it looks bad. I mean, even when I look at (the photographs), I go, “Oh Jesus, that does look pretty bad.” (But) if a soldier sees somebody dead, normally they’ll take photos of it. I don’t know why, maybe it’s a curiosity thing or if they see something odd, they’ll take a photo of it. Just to say “Hey, look where I’ve been, look what I’ve seen.”
ERROL MORRIS: Maybe you can’t believe it yourself?
SABRINA HARMAN:
I can’t believe they murdered the guy. .............
SABRINA HARMAN: You don’t think your commander (Brinson) is going to lie to you about something, first of all. And
then you realize wait, maybe he did lie because there’s no way somebody would die of a heart attack and have all these injuries. It just didn’t add up..................
Wait just one second. Murdered?
And who are they?
What does the photograph really show? What are we looking at? A smile? A murder? And if it is a murder, who is the killer?
lots more:
