An Interview With Dahr Jamail:

[cal04]

I have spent six of the last 12 months in Iraq. As I mentioned, what brought me here was the nearly total failure of the U.S. "mainstream" media to show the truth of this illegal invasion and occupation. How it affected the Iraqis, as well as U.S. soldiers. Overall, they just weren't doing their job, and this has grown even worse.

I had done all the usual actions of attempting to speak up and effect change at home – calling and writing Senators/Congresspeople, attending teach-ins, spreading information. After watching the worldwide demonstrations on February 15, 2003 be brushed aside as a "focus group," I knew then that the minds of the American public had been misled by the corporate media who mindlessly supported the objectives of the Bush regime, and reporting the true effects of the invasion/occupation on the Iraqi people and U.S. soldiers was what I needed to do.
