I only wish that I could weep

  




Title: I only wish that I could weep
Attributed date: 2002
Attributed to: Operator 17
Production date: 2002

This document is attributed to Operator #17, a Lebanese Army intelligence officer who was assigned to monitor the Corniche, a seaside boardwalk in Beirut. From 1997 on, the officer decided to videotape the sunset instead of his assigned target. This videotape recounts the operator’s story and concentrates on the footage he was permitted to keep after his dismissal.
