Iraq, from About Iraq to Weapons Iraq.
Democracy Now! Dahr Jamail Speaks with Amy Goodman Having just returned from testifying at the culminating session of the World Tribunal on Iraq in Istanbul, Dahr shares information and his perspective on the US occupation of Iraq. In this excellent 20 minute interview, Dahr and Amy discuss the lack of reporting on the recent bombings in Iraq that killed a similar number of civilians as the recent bombings in London.

What's a Lame Duck to do? What might we expect from George Bush if he views himself heading for lame duck status and the junk pile of history? Although Bush may be blocked on the home front, this is the age of “presidential war” and in his capacity as commander in chief he does not need congressional approval to act. George Bush has already demonstrated his recklessness as president -- his contempt for the truth, the law and the Constitution.
