Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Many believe that the only information they can really trust is what they see with their own eyes. In 2003, Dahr Jamail decided that he was tired of just listening to news reports on Iraq and packed his bag to see exactly what was going on. As he's one of the few independent U.S. journalists in Iraq, his published reports have been picked up by a variety of news outlets, such as the Guardian, the Independent, The Nation, and The Sunday Herald. Video and photos from Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon show yet another facet of the complicated events of war. And his blog is a window into one person's opinions and commentary on the experience of being in the middle of the conflict. We're all bound to have differing views on any political situation, but the broad vantage of independent reporting can only add to our opportunities for getting to the heart of the matter.
