On December 8th of this year Dahr Jamail made an interesting in Vancouver, Canada. His speech was recorded by Radio Ecoshock and made available for download here (I have also uploaded a copy of this presentation here).
I highly recommend Dahr Jamail’s excellent presentation which totally debunks all the nonsense about the ‘Surge’ which the corporate media sheepishly repeats day after day. To anyone wanting to hear the truth about what Iraq looks like “Beyond the Green Zone” Dahr’s presentation is a must.
Also, make sure to get a copy of Dahr’s book Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq.
Last, but not least, keep an eye on Dahr’s excellent blog.
That was a good interview, even if it was depressing to listen to and to consider the consequences of the occupation of Iraq.
Here’s another good interview with Dahr Jamail on one of Austin’s local “patriot” pirate fm & shortwave radio broadcast stations:

The interview starts about twenty five minutes into the hour. There’s a good discussion of Falluja. Once again, he claims that white phosphorous and cluster bombs were used in civilian areas.
[On a side note, there were also interviews with Scott Ritter and Karen Kwiatkowski, the DoD Col. who exposed the machinations of Douglas Feith and the Office of Special Plans.]

Thanks a lot for the links! Every interview with Dahr is really interesting. I am going to try to get an interview for my blog with him at some time. Ritter is another fantastic guy. I like Kwiatkowski somewhat less, but her story is also interesting.
Please post any good audio or videos you have here or, if it is too off-topic, please email me the links and I will pass them on through my mailing list.
Cheers!
