re: Pixellated vision.
ER, good to see you old chap. Actually, if you've played around with video software lately, even the cheap stuff, it's pretty amazing what special effects you can perform on them without a whole lot of expertise. I'd love to believe that the Iraqi govt was involved with its production but the evidence of a pixilated face could simply mean the guy that processed the video had some software and wanted to hide someone's participation, nothing more. Could've been he wanted to protect a friend from a reprisal.
