WikiLeaks, a non-profit organization committed to exposing significant injustice around the world, has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad, including two Reuters news staff. Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act [...] Posted by Zach on March 6, 2010, at 6:32 am
In his new memoir, Republican strategist Karl “Turdblossom” Rove, a master of the obvious, notes notes that the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq badly damaged the Bush administration’s credibility and led to dwindling public support for the war. Rove also calls the 2003 invasion of Iraq the most consequential act [...] Posted by PartiallyBlue on August 17, 2009, at 7:04 pm
Somehow I missed this last week. Lynndie England, the ex-U.S. soldier who became infamous for her role in abusing Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib, mistreatment captured in photos that appalled people across the globe, was scheduled to speak at the Library of Congress today as part of the tour to promote her new book.

Lynndie England will be at the Library of Congress today promoting her new book. America’s infamous military police reservist at Abu Ghraib will be discussing her role in the abuse of prisoners. I am disgusted to know that the Library of Congress will be the venue for selling her book. As she [...] Posted by Zach on February 12, 2009, at 7:27 pm

For a good long time, I’ve been of the belief that Vice President Dick Cheney is not only dangerous, but that he hasn’t really done a good job as Vice President. I’ve always known I wasn’t alone in my feelings towards VP Cheney, but I suppose I never realized just how many Americans agreed [...] Posted by Zach on December 14, 2008, at 4:10 pm
On his final visit to Iraq, President George W. Bush got a reminder of his unpopularity, as an Iraqi reporter threw his shoes at President Bush during a news conference: “This is a farewell kiss, you dog!” shouted the protester in Arabic, later identified as Muntadar al-Zeidi, a correspondent for Al-Baghdadia television, an Iraqi-owned [...] Posted by Zach on December 4, 2008, at 10:01 pm
Thanks to my good friend Kevin (who really needs to post these things here himself) I came across an article written by Matthew Alexander – writing pseudonymously for security reasons – who happens to be a veteran of the Iraq war. In the article, Alexander takes a strong position against torture, but what’s most [...] Posted by Zach on July 20, 2008, at 3:26 pm
Have you seen this picture before? The photo, taken in March 2003, has become one of the most iconic images of the U.S. invasion of Iraq: that of an American soldier carrying a wounded Iraqi child to safety.
