Through half a decade of war, a team of 100 Reuters correspondents, photographers, cameramen and support staff have strived to bring the world news from the most dangerous country for the press. This is their testimony - bearing witness to ensure the story of Iraq is not lost.

This is great, thanks. I couldn't make it past the images of the children in hospital right now, but I will come back to this.

The freakiest bit is the two guys trying to get their burning friend to safety, but not being able to approach...that made me feel queasy. Awesome link - I just wish the video was longer.

If it weren't for these people we'd only have the propaganda bulletins of the warring factions and wouldn't know what's going on. True heroes.

What struck me were the women's faces, the ones standing against the wall, the one holding her child, the one huddling while soldiers searched the house.

The freakiest bit is the two guys trying to get their burning friend to safety, but not being able to approach...that made me feel queasy. Awesome link - I just wish the video was longer. And then noticing, leaning up against the burning truck is a man charred black, clothes burned away, who's arms are raised and still moving.

speechless. i'd say "thank you for posting this" but that doesn't seem the right sentiment.

Thanks for sharing this. It was bizarre going through the timeline. I got to the end of 2003 and thought, what's left to come? What filled up the other 4.5 years? Then I clicked through the rest. Oh yeah.
