I had lunch with a photo editor friend of mine yesterday and she told me I needed to listen to NPR’s Fresh Air interview of Paul Watson, the current SE Asia bureau chief for the L.A. Times, who one the 1994 Pulitzer prize of a dead American soldier being dragged through the streets of Mogadishu,Somalia. His war-zone work leaves him suffering from chronic post-traumatic stress, and the Mogadishu photo still haunts him.

What is especially interesting, in this interview is the section that he talks about the photo he took in Mogadishu and how he still feels the weight of that image. Not so much as the image and its single context but that he feels it is responsible for the Clinton administration not taking military action during the Rwandan genocide.

The interview was incredibly insightful… still thinking about it. Click Here
