PRAISE FOR DAHR JAMAIL AND BEYOND THE GREEN ZONE

"While the powerful media conglomerates embedded on the ground with the invading and occupying forces, Jamail embedded with the suffering people of Iraq and uncovered the horrors of this war of 'liberation. ' Dahr Jamail is the conscience of American war reporting, the quintessential unembedded reporter."
–Jeremey Scahill, author, Blackwater

"Every conflict spawns a handful of journalists who are willing to not only brave the war zone but to seek out the stories ignored by the press pack. The Iraq War has brought us Dahr Jamail."
–Mother Jones magazine
