(Viewed discretion advised – graphic footage, graphic content, extremely frightening implications – even as a national security expert and former professor for the U.S. Naval War College, this is way beyond my comfort zone.)

This film can be viewed in English, Italian or Arabic by clicking on http://www.rainews24.it/ran24/inchieste/guerre_stellari_iraq.asp and locating the appropriate icon on the right side of your screen. It takes a few minutes to download. (A short summary and the written text of the documentary appears at the bottom of this message below the asterisks.)

There is considerable evidence contained in this documentary to indicate that the U.S. military has deployed a new generation of weaponry in Iraq for which adjectives such as "nightmarish" and "horrific" fall far short. The comments by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and General Myers are especially revealing.

Movie opens with a fight scene in Baghdad, April 2003. Title: Starwars in Iraq. Driver of car, Majid Algazali, a violilnist, tells us about bodies he has seen, explaining to the filmmaker what he saw during the American attack. He thinks the US used experimental weapons.

He says, just the heads were burnt, faces and eyes burnt and no marks on the body. The terrain with the buried bodies contained a space of only about a meter in length. The didn't know how a body could shrink like that.

Chief surgeon at hospital describes bodies which were cut in pieces, some with heads missing, arms cut off. He didn't know what kind of weapon was used. He thinks it is something experimental.

<snip>

In addition to describing the battle, Majid al Ghezali wanted to show Patrick Dillon the site near the airport where this mysterious weapon was used, along with the traces of fused metal still visible, and the irregularly sized ditches where the cadavers were buried before they were exhumed.
We sought out Majid al Ghezali to hear more details of his story. We met up with him in Amman and he pointed out some inexplicable peculiarities on the bodies of the victims of the battle for the airport.

MAJID AL GHEZALI: Just the head was burnt. In the other parts of the body there wasn't anything.

NARRATOR: Al Ghezali reported that he had seen three passengers in a car, all dead, with their faces and teeth burnt, their clothes intact, and no sign of projectiles.

MAJID AL GHEZALI: There wasn't any bullet. I saw their teeth, just the teeth, and they had no eyes, all of them, there was nothing on their bodies.

NARRATOR: There were other inexplicable aspects: the terrain where the battle took place was dug up by the American military and replaced with other fresh earth; the bodies that were not hit by projectiles had shrunk to just slightly more than one meter in height.

MAJID AL GHEZALI: Except the ones killed by the bullets, most of them became very small. I mean... like that... Something like that.

/...

But, note, no description here of blackening of bodies (I've had no time to watch, yet), nor of projectiles being employed (this is about "energy beam" weapons, it seems). Still, seemingly experimental use in the field.
