The mission continues
Since John Kerry conceded the election, it's interesting to see that one of his missions (as one-time spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War) is being reflected in a new organization, Iraq Veterans Against the War. The group is profiled, along with a photo of founder Mike Hoffman, in this article in Mother Jones magazine.
In Fallujah:
Here's a history of Fallujah, from In These Times. Seems like if we're going to destroy a place, we ought to know what it was like.
To know what it's like now, there's a new blog called Fallujah in Pictures. It shows what's going on there in photos supplied by readers. Apparently the photos are graphic and shocking. I didn't want to look, but when I did click I couldn't get in. Maybe lots of people have heard of this site already...
For an Iraqi view on the Fallujah attack, see Riverbend or The Mesopotamian.
