ZNet Commentary: How to Stop the War: Launch a Demonstration Against John Kerry

Support Independent Reporting from Iraq: Reporter Dahr Jamail in Iraq, January, 2004. With the help of concerned readers, Jamail returns to Iraq in April.
Last December/January, while most news coming out of Iraq was gleaned from official press conferences and the conservative and liberal press alike were seeking out interviews with US-appointed administrators and council members, an independent journalist operating in Iraq got the other side of the story from the people living under occupation. On dozens of websites, Dahr Jamail's important work reached tens of thousands of people who were desperate to hear real stories about people living under occupation in Iraq.

Dahr's uniquely human style of reporting reached people in ways mainstream coverage rarely bothers to: it exposed the effects of warfare and military occupation on everyday Iraqis.
