Those are the words that Journalist Paul Watson heard as he took a photograph of a battered, mutilated American soldier being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia. His war-zone work leaves him suffering from chronic post-traumatic stress, and he says the Mogadishu photo still haunts him. Wilson believes his photograph prevented intervention into Rwanda’s genocide to save hundred of thousands of lives and empowered Al-Qaeda. The war leader that Americans were chasing at the time sent a thank you letter to Wilson for providing propaganda for his forces. He even invited Wilson for dinner.
