I suppose Jamail’s job at the Winter Soldier II “Investigation” will be to confirm the war crimes that frauds that haven’t been ‘outted’ will be claiming.

Our fact checkers have fallen down on the job, as I think Dahr Jamail has not been covered very much from the conservative ‘right’ point of view…while Alternet and others have lauded his ‘independent journalist’ status because he props the terrorist propaganda.

Read Robin’s post Need A War Crime Story? Call Dahr Jamail An excerpt:

I’ve read many stories and articles from Iraq by “independent” reporter Dahr Jamail. For some reason, he’s flown under the radar on the right while leading the charge against American Imperialist Occupiers for the left. Don’t believe me - google “war crimes” and “american military in Iraq”. Most of the items will either have a Dahr Jamail byline or have a statement from him in the story or will have a trail of crumbs leading back to this rat’s lair.

Take for instance the Fallujah White Phosphorus debunked claims - this was the “journalist” that beat the hell outta that dead horse and continues to do so. In fact, Jamail drove the damn bus on the Fallujah massacre claims - and not one single tinfoil hat wearing minion questioned his claims. If a bomb went off in Iraq and civilians were killed, you could count on a dispatch from Dahr Jamail pointing out America’s complicity in the act.

Also, take the amazing fact that Dahr Jamail was propping the infamous fraud, Jesse Macbeth.

Those two things stink to high heaven, but that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

Interesting enough, Denis Koehane’s work has certainly changed the rhetoric coming out of Iraq Veterans Against the War on this.

* The original IVAW statement about Winter Soldier Investigation (WSI)-Iraq and Afghanistan as it appeared in November 2007.
* The current IVAW statement on WSI, significantly toned down on the atrocity rhetoric. See here.
* “Iraq Vets Prepare Atrocity Testimony” from Sir! No Sir! - Feb 3, 2008
* “The goal of hearings…is to show that systematic government policies are to blame for the myriad atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan.” - The Indypendent - Feb 4, 2008 (The link in my original post no longer works but the story can be found in the Google cache.)
* “War crimes have been identified, and once again, politicians and generals repeat history by blaming ‘a few bad apples’ for such atrocities, rather than examining the military policies that destroyed Vietnam then and are destroying Iraq and Afghanistan now.” - Vietnam Veterans Against the War
* “Maine Veterans For Peace invites you to a fund raising party to benefit Winter Soldier, the public war crimes investigation being organized by Iraq Veterans Against the War…” - Peace Action Maine - Feb 22, 2008

We need to keep leftists’ feet to the fire on this…because our watchdog media won’t.
