The War Tapes documentary features soldier's-eye view of Iraq war

11/08/2006 3:53:00 PM

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - The Humvee hits an Iraqi woman crossing a busy road at night. The driver pulls over and turret gunner Spc. Mike Moriarty watches helplessly as supply trucks run over her, spreading her body parts across the road - and we watch with him.

That is the power of The War Tapes, a documentary edited from more than 800 hours of film shot by several members of the New Hampshire National Guard in Iraq's deadly Sunni Triangle.

"Watching 10 transport trucks go over her like a rag doll ... hearing the sound of that Humvee hitting her - I'll never forget it," Moriarty said in an interview.

Moriarty, 36, an aircraft mechanic, supports President George W. Bush and the war, but thinks the military spends too much time trying to be nice. Instead, it should take control of areas plagued by insurgent attacks, even if that means "nuking" the whole country, he says just after being fired upon.
