Renowned photojournalists Steve Connors and Molly Bingham ’90 attempted to paint a more accurate picture of the Iraqi resistance movement as they repudiated claims made by the American media about resistance fighters in a speech in the Kirkland Junior Common Room yesterday.
Connors and Boyle spoke to an intimate gathering of both students and faculty about their travels in Iraq, which they said were prompted by a growing suspicion that purportedly random, unorganized attacks on American troops after the removal of Sadaam Hussein were actually part of an organized resistance.
Though Connors and Boyle said they had planned on spending six weeks in Iraq, they ended up staying in the country for more than ten months.
Connors, a photographer since his days serving as a British soldier in Northern Ireland in the early 80s, opened the presentation yesterday by challenging the term “insurgency,” which members of the media frequently apply to those in Iraq fighting against the U.S.
Dickerson took 47th in the GS with a time of 2:15.6. Connors was 53rd, captain Molly Simmons was 56th, and freshman Christina Kozak was 57th.
