Gelukkige is er nog een hele vracht aan alternatieve media en ik wil jullie dan ook niet het volgende interview met een nog jonge Irak-veteraan onthouden:

Dahr Jamail over dit interview:
Citaat:
This 20 minute interview will change how you view the U.S. occupation of
Iraq forever. I cannot possibly recommend this more highly. An Iraq war
veteran tells of atrocities he and other fellow-soldiers committed
reguarly while in Iraq. I have never seen this level of honesty from a
U.S. soldier who directly participated in the slaughtering of Iraqis.

Enkele uitreksels om aan te geven waar het over gaat:
Citaat:
When we were doing the night raids in the houses, we would pull people
out and have them all on their knees and zip-tied. We would ask the man
of the house questions. If he didn't answer the way we liked, we would
shoot his youngest kid in the head. We would keep going, this was our
interrogation. He could be innocent. He could be just an average Joe
trying to support his family. If he didn't give us a satisfactory
answer, we'd start killing off his family until he told us something. If
he didn't know anything, I guess he was SOL.

Now I look back at it, we are the terrorists. We're the ones terrorising the country, a whole nation of people that did nothing wrong to us. Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks.
