Investigative journalist Kevin Sites has covered a multitude of disaster sites and war zones, but he's best known as a pioneer of solo war blogging. He uses writing, photography and video to report his stories from some of the most dangerous spots on Earth.
In 2004, as an embedded journalist for NBC, Sites filmed what he calls "an execution." His camera caught a U.S. Marine killing a wounded Iraqi in a mosque in Fallujah, Iraq. The footage earned him accolades from the left, and death threats from the right. Sites was called "unpatriotic" and "un-American." But he says that as a journalist, "ultimately your loyalty has to be to the truth."
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
Sites used his own blog to write a multidimensional version of the Fallujah mosque incident, a story he wasn't able to tell as a freelance correspondent for NBC.
