As  war between America and Iraq looms, coverage by the mainstream media is called into question. Maverick reporter Jeremy Scahill and some impassioned colleagues feel that many journalists have lost credibility, marching lockstep with the Bush administration to a pro-war drumbeat. Live from Baghdad, Scahill and company are sorting out the facts and breaking rank. The goal of this project is to offer an insider's look at Iraq and how U.S. foreign policy affects the daily lives of Iraqi people. With candid photos, regularly updated field reports, and audio and video journals, it's not surprising folks are listening. The Saddam In Rumsfeld's Closet, an article published in August 2002, piqued enough interest in Washington that it eventually reached the desk of Senator Robert Byrd. Whether or not you agree with their angle, you have to admire the guts it takes to track down and recount these stories. (in Government > Politics) |
