Iraq War Information

I have two favorite websites I'd like to share for information about what's going on in Iraq. Independent journalist Dahr Jamail blogs at www.dahrjamailiraq.com from the ground in Iraq. He testified at the World Tribunal on Iraq, and you can sign up to receive his newsletter. They are brief and well written, usually on a single topic (price of oil, assassination of doctors, etc.), and come maybe three to four times a week. For a more academic analytical approach, Juan Cole's blog can't be beat. Dr. Cole is multi-lingual and a true citizen of earth; he reads Kahlil Gibran in the original! He is a leading expert not only on Iraq but also on Israel-Palestine and the rest of the Middle East and Southern Asia. Read his entry from Monday at www.juancole.com in which he uses Dr. King's "Beyond Vietnam" speech to extrapolate "10 things MLK would do about Iraq." (You have to scroll down; he usually makes multiple daily entries.)
