Philip Greenspun lent his digital camera to Peter Menzel for a trip to Kuwait and Iraq. Menzel came back with a vial of Iraqi crude oil for Philip (prompting the one-liner, “I’m thus one of the very few Americans who can truly say that he got what the U.S. Army went to Iraq for!”), and some amazing pictures of the work done to extinguish the oil well fires, complete with unexploded (and exploded!) cluster bombs, Halliburton subsidiaries (Boots and Coots, not Brown and Root), camels, and drowning wildlife.
