Whoa

David Swanson of the Philadelphia Inquirer won the first place prize in general news reporting for "Echoes of War". The photograph is of a soldier attempting to start a Hum-V that is riddled with bullet holes. When I first saw the photograph, it took a moment for me to comprehend what I was seeing. All I could focus on was the devastated window, but as I focused on the man inside the vehicle, I could see the apprehension on his face as he stared at the holes. It seems like unintentional foreshadowing. The caption says that the soldier died at the same intersection three days later.
