An email received by Kurt Nimmo’s Blog yesterday and Kurt’s reply. You expect to sell your art work to Americans while you publish the most incredible lies. I just bet you are an American too. Re: your article about Fallujah published in Anwaar Hussain’s hate blog.

How do you know that the photos by Dhar (sic) Jamail weren’t taken in the aftermath of the war? Where did you get them? Where exactly did Dhar Jamail get them? Unless you can answer these questions, don’t state your horrid case about your own country as if it were fact.

I asked Mr. Jamail where he got them. His answer? “If you don’t believe me, read the European press.” Now that’s really an intelligent answer, don’t you agree? Europe hates the US. They will have little good to say about us. Why didn’t he just answer my question about those photographs? I wonder…

Could these photographs have possibly come from Al Jazeera?

In fact, this “article” was a blog entry posted here on March 18 and reposted on March 19 on Anwaar Hussain’s blog, Fountainhead. I was unfamiliar with Mr. Hussain’s blog until this email arrived. “Anwaar Hussain is not afraid to speak out on issues facing the muslim world at large. He is an ex-F-16 fighter pilot from Pakistan Air Force. A Masters in Defense and Strategic Studies from Quaid-e-Azam University Islamabad, he now resides in United Arab Emirates,” notes a short bio. I presume Hussain is a Muslim and since he lives in the Middle East he has more right to write about Iraq than either the woman who sent the above email or I. But then according to this ill-informed (and brainwashed) American, Hussain is running a “hate blog” and I post lies.

As for the images posted on Dahr Jamail’s blog, here is an explanation. It took about thirty seconds to track down the following with a Google search:

“Two weeks ago [late November, 2004] someone was allowed into Fallujah by the military to help bury bodies. They were allowed to take photographs of 75 bodies, in order to show pictures to relatives so that they might be identified before they were buried,” writes Jamail on his blog.

These pictures are from a book of photos. They are being circulated publicly around small villages near Fallujah where many refugees are staying.

The man who took them was only allowed to take photos and bury bodies in one small area of Fallujah. He was not allowed to visit anywhere else. Keep in mind there are at least 1,925 other bodies that were not allowed to be seen.

Information with some of the photos is from those identified by family members already.

One of the family members who was looking for dead relatives, shared these photos which were taken from that book.

Al Jazeera had nothing to do with the images.

Unfortunately, millions of Americans are unable to accept the fact their government is engaged in massive war crimes in Iraq. It does not matter what evidence is presented—they continue to believe what the Bush Ministry of Lies and Propaganda tells them. If not for brave souls such as Jamail, I would not be able to “state [my] horrid case about [my] own country as if it were fact.” Fox News sure the hell does not report the truth about what is really happening “on the ground” in Iraq.

“Weary of the overall failure of the US media to accurately report on the realities of the war in Iraq for the Iraqi people and US soldiers, Dahr Jamail went to Iraq to report on the war himself,” writes Dahr Jamail’s Iraq Dispatches.

His dispatches were quickly recognized as an important media resource and he is now writing for the Inter Press Service, The NewStandard and many other outlets. His reports have also been published with The Nation, The Sunday Herald and Islam Online, to name just a few. Dahr’s dispatches and hard news stories have been translated into Polish, German, Dutch, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Indonesian, French, Chinese and Arabic. On the radio, Dahr is a special correspondent for Flashpoints and reports for the BBC, Democracy Now!, and numerous other stations around the globe.

Dahr has spent a total of 8 months in occupied Iraq as one of only a few independent US journalists in the country. Dahr uses the DahrJamailIraq.com website and his popular mailing list to disseminate his dispatches.

In fact, the stupidity of the woman quoted in the email above verges on criminal.

“The evil of the Nazi ideology did not come out of nowhere. The brutalization of thought and the lack of moral inhibitions had a history,” said German chancellor Gerard Schroder recently. “One thing is clear: The Nazi ideology was willed by people and carried out by people.”

Bush was “re-elected” and what is going on in Iraq—from the murder of more than 100,000 people to the rape and torture gulag—is a fact “willed by people and carried out by people” through their so-called representatives.

Indeed, as this blog has argued for years now, the “horrid case” against my country is that the people either support mass murder or really don’t care enough to change it. No more evidence than the election last November is required.
