Damned if you and damned if you don't. Journalists have a choice of being embedded with the US military in Iraq, that special circle of Dante's hell, perhaps protected, perhaps targets. Or they can operate independently, as unprotected targets. Is that the same hell?
Lewis and Clark shows "Unembedded: Independent Photojournalists in Iraq" by photographers Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, Kael Alford, Thorne Anderson and Rita Leister. War, this war, is an easy emotional carrier for heavy thoughts. Nonetheless it can be a reality touchpoint for clues on what may be one of the last 100 years' worst human foreign policy disasters.
The show opens 5-7PM. At 7, two of the photographers speak. Check the L&C website for directions and parking provisos.
