Dahr Jamail
In late 2003, weary of the overall failure of the US media to accurately report on the realities of the war in Iraq, Dahr went to the Middle East to report on the war himself. He spent more than 1 year in Iraq as one of only a few independent US journalists in the country. Dahr has also reported from Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan, and on veterans resistance against US foreign policy, and is now focusing on anthropogenic climate disruption and the environment.
Dahr’s stories have been published with Truthout, Inter Press Service, Tom Dispatch, The Sunday Herald in Scotland, The Guardian, Foreign Policy in Focus, Le Monde, Le Monde Diplomatique, The Huffington Post, The Nation, The Independent, and Al Jazeera, among others. Dahr’s writing has been translated into French, Polish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic and Turkish. Dahr has reported for Democracy Now! and Al-Jazeera, and has appeared on the BBC, NPR, and other stations around the globe.
