Dahr Jamail's independent reporting from Iraq has kept his readers better informed than CNN, Fox News, and NPR combined. Having just returned from Iraq, Dahr will share his most recent experiences and stories he has heard firsthand from the Iraqi people. He will present photos and new video footage from inside devastated Fallujah, as well as give his analysis of the "mainstream media's successful efforts to whitewash the Iraq catastrophe for the Bush administration", and what we can do about it.
His dispatches were quickly recognized as an important media resource and he is now writing for the Inter Press Service, The NewStandard and many other outlets. His reports have also been published with The Nation, The Sunday Herald and Islam Online, to name just a few. Dahr's dispatches and hard news stories have been translated into Polish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Indonesian, French, Chinese and Arabic. On the radio, Dahr is a special correspondent for Flashpoints and reports for the BBC, Democracy Now!, and numerous other stations around the globe.
