  • If John Pilger credits this guy as a bona fide independent journalist then that's ok with me. So many journalists have succumbed to the comfort zone of being churnalists, of churning out government press releases which they have tweaked with some incandescent grammar, that journalism has become for them a real career opportunity in the black art of disinformation without the bothersome tax inspector type of truth audit.

    Its economics versus truth. A Media collective versus public interests

  • That's no embassy . That's a housing for a freaking battalion division. Eight thousand inhabitants ? wow

  • OH MY GOD! FRICKING OUTRAGEOUS! Military contractors will be unmasked, audited and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Who are the owners of this particular Kuwaiti construction company?

  • He is a very intelligent guy. I listened to him on npr. I agree with his views on iraq. I just ordered his book

  • i juz met him today... on the released of his book "beyond the green zone" he is very intelligent... and brave! yo da best Dahr!

  • Too late for that, we need a revolution.

  • way to go Dahr....enlightening, thanks.PEACE

  • Wow. This is stuff out of a science fiction movie. This is completely nuts, they're building the set of "Dune" in Iraq and they're not telling us about it. And as usual, after 4 years there is no reconstruction to speak of for either the Iraqi's or Afghani's, just death and destruction. You go Dahr, you da man...

    Peace, (NOW!!!)

  • There will never be a stop to world War Profiteering without a new direction such as "Nurturing Harmony". A direction for building strong and healthy world communities without terrorism, poverty, and profiteering abuses. Consider: The annual cost of warfare and strife worldwide is well over $800 billion and growing; while the annual cost to provide basic human welfare and hope worldwide is under $300 billion (U.N. studies). It is time for "Nurturing Harmony".
