I heard Dahr Jamail speak last year and he was a very strong and
compelling speaker. Definitely worth a Saturday night.

activists from Iraq Veterans Against the War and the Campus Antiwar

CONFRONTING EMPIRE: Speaking Out Against War and Empire
Saturday, November 3, 7pm
Kane Hall, University of Washington, Seattle

Since 2003, unembedded journalist Dahr Jamail has filed indispensable
reports from Iraq that have made him this generation’s chronicler of
the unfolding disaster there. In these collected dispatches, Jamail
presents never-before published details of the siege of Fallujah, and
examines the origins of the Iraqi resistance, bringing us inside the
Iraq we never see.

Independent journalist Dahr Jamail, one of the only unmebedded
journalists in Iraq and author of the newly released "Beyond the
Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied
Iraq," is coming to speak in Seattle on November 3, at UW's Kane
Hall. Jamail, a writer for the Inter Press Service and the Asia
Times, has covered the Middle East for more than four years, and
reported extensively from inside Iraq for eight months, as well as
working from Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan. His reports have
been published in the Nation, the Sunday Herald, the Guardian,
Foreign Policy in Focus, and the Independent, among other publications.

Hear Jamail speak about the US project in Iraq and the Middle East,
and how we can organize against the war.

Praise for Dahr Jamail and Beyond the Green Zone:

“Dahr Jamail does us a great service, by taking us past the lies of
our political leaders, past the cowardice of the mainstream press,
into the streets, the homes, the lives of Iraqis living under U.S.
occupation. He is a superb journalist.”

—Howard Zinn, author, A People’s History of the United States

“From the earliest days of the war, Dahr Jamail been a human conduit
for the voices of Iraqis living under U.S. occupation. In the face of
tremendous personal risk, his commitment to the crucial, principled
task of bearing witness has never wavered, and this extraordinary
book is the result.”

—Naomi Klein, author, No Logo

“This book pierces the miasma of ignorance, mendacity and embedded
egotism that has shaped most coverage of Iraq in the American press.
It is a passionate and deeply insightful look at the reality of war
and occupation, and also an example of international journalism at
its best.”

—Stephen Kinzer, former foreign desk chief, New York Times, and
author, All the Shah’s Men
