Context:
We could glimpse the true reality of the Iraq war in the burnt and abused bodies of the four US security guards killed on 31 March 2004. Dragged through the streets of Falluja, their blackened remains were hung on a bridge over the Euphrates. Participants took photos that many newspapers around the world printed the next day. This showing-off reflected an age-old tradition of battle – one that most people had hoped was a thing of the past.
