Breaking Through the Fog of War
by possibly noteworthy at 12:28 pm EDT, Jul 6, 2007

Four years after the US invaded Iraq, a group of the war's veterans invaded the streets of New York. In a Memorial Day exercise, members of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) donned their gear and reenacted military scenarios commonplace in the streets of Iraq. Using their hands as rifles, they shouted commands and crept around corners. Some scoured the streets for "Iraqi citizens," forcing them to the ground, cuffing, and hooding them.

The performance, captured in a video posted on the Nation, was meant to penetrate the detached and filtered haze that defines how most Americans view the war.
