Response to Ms. Cavellier's Comment

The photographer who documented the Janjaweed in the New Yorker is named Bruno Stevens. He has captured images for many different universal issues. There is one picture and brief blog about the Georgia War (see link below). Another link below will bring up a picture and small comment on the aftermath of the Lebanon war. There is also a website written by Stevens that talks about the Leica M8 camera he used in Iran. Although the site is primarily talking about the camera, there are some very good pictures on it as well.

He was also the coauthor and photographer of the book Baghdad: Truth Lies Within. The book is about the lives of people in Baghdad before, during, and after the war in Iraq that occurred in 2003. This book reveals the clear truth about the war, which is hazy for many people. The story tells about the fall of Suddam Hussein's government and the turmoil that was caused when the Americans came over. There are also 200 graphic and moving pictures in this book. It sounds good...I think I might go to Barnes and Noble and get it!
