Please help spread the truth about Iraq

[MariaS]

For those of you not familiar with the work of Dahr Jamail he is one of the only American unembedded journalist in Iraq. He continues to risk his life to bring the truth about what is going on in Iraq to the American Public and the world. He is trying to raise funds to attend the World Tribunal on **Iraq** where he has been invited to speak. The Democratic Underground family has always in my opinion, strived for the truth about the things that affect not only Americans but those we inflict our policies on. Dahr Jamail is attempting to bring us that truth about Iraq. The following is the letter I received explaining his situation. Please dig deep people and help this man who has continued to show with honor and bravery the true meaning of journalist. Thanks for any help you can give.

*Dear readers,*

*I have been invited and will be attending the upcoming **Rome**
session
of the World Tribunal on **Iraq**: Media Wrongs Against Truth and
Humanity-Exposing the Politics of Disinformation. I will be making an
in
depth presentation there.*

*Here is a short announcement on it from the events section on my site,
which includes a link so you can learn more about the tribunal:*

*Date:* February 10th-13th, 2005
*Location:* Rome, Italy
*Details*: Dahr Jamail will be presenting at the next session of the
World Tribunal on Iraq: Media Wrongs Against Truth and Humanity -
Exposing the Politics of Disinformation. For more information visit
http://www.worldtribunal.org/Events/rome.htm

*In order for the tribunal to be able to afford to bring more Iraqi
witnesses, I volunteered to cover my own expenses there. *

*Thus, I am appealing for donations to support this important
endeavor.*

*In addition, I am hoping to collect enough donations to cover the
expenses, including the flight, for one of the Iraqi witnesses who has
been invited to present at this very important tribunal.*

*Your support would be very much appreciated, and would be used to help
bring more attention to the lack of adequate media coverage from
occupied **Iraq**. *

*You can click here if you wish to donate to this cause:*

*When you donate, so as to enable me to keep these funds separate from
those donated to support my reporting, please include a short note that
it is for tribunal expenses.*

*Thank you very much for your ongoing readership and support. I
couldn’t
do this work without it.*

*Best regards,*

*Dahr Jamail*
