[edit] Rationale

The image though copyrighted is a very controversial image about which many American media and people have voiced their concerns.[1][2] [3] As such it deserves to be included because it is the only image in the article in iraq war where an insurgent fighter is shown. All the others are of coalition troops and this should help to give a more balanced picture. Because of its controversial nature, I suggest that the image be kept under fair use.

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket fair use categories listed at Wikipedia:Fair use#Images or Wikipedia:Fair use#Audio_clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Iraq War":

To illustrate the object in question

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed fair use rationale.
