  Looking death in the face   After September 11, 2001 Keith Brooks photojournalist for ten years filmed reports on the actions of U.S. armed forces and about life in the Middle East.  In this collection you'll see her picture out of Iraq in 2003-2004.
"For me, there was no question whether I am doing stories about the war in Iraq.  The only thing I could not decide which side was to remove the conflict.  After spending several weeks in Kuwait, I went to Tehran to go from there to the northern part of Iraq.  One of the representatives of the Iranian government has forwarded me and another reporter "Time" to the Iran-Iraq border.  The first months of the war I spent in the snowy mountains of Kurdistan, making reports against the Sunni Islamist organization of Ansar al-Islam against the forces of Kurds, calling themselves the "eshmerga," which means "looking death in the face."
  By the summer I moved to the south.  In August, the city of Najaf, I photographed the Shia religious leader Muqtada al-Sadr, when a car bomb exploded at the tomb of Imam Ali.  Hearing the explosion, I rushed there, and what I saw was like hell.  Cars were burning.  Along the street were charred human remains scattered.  One of the survivors lay, holding out his leg torn off and looked at me as if I could advise him what to do now.
  Next week, colleagues congratulated me on my success - my reportage in Time allocated for six pages ... Just my very reason that success was not pleased. "
