Is this, I wonder, the first time a blog post has made the front page of a national newspaper? Click on the image, taken from our digital edition, to see the front page better, or visit Kevin Sites’ website to read his open letter. A powerful read, it is to the marines with whom he was embedded in Falluja last week, and relates to the circumstances surrounding his now-notorious film of one of those marines shooting an already injured Iraqi fighter.

That you also write for the Guardian didn’t in anyway help, did it?
