Interesting Interview with Nir Rosen On Iraq
I post this, knowing quite well, that any attempt to dislodge you from your imiginary world of flag waving, eagle soaring, patriots marching is a recipe for personal attack. But what the heck, that’s my job.
Interviewed by Mike Whitney
Nir Rosen, author of In the Belly of the Green Bird: The Triumph of the Martyrs in Iraq, has spent more than two years in Iraq reporting on the American occupation, the relationship between Americans and Iraqis, the development of postwar Iraqi religious and political movements, interethnic and sectarian relations, and the Iraqi civil war. His reporting and research also focused on the origins and development of Islamist resistance, insurgency, and terrorist organizations. He has also reported from Somalia, where he investigated Islamist movements; Jordan, where he investigated the origins and future of the Zarqawi movement; and Pakistan, where he investigated the madrassas and pro-Taliban movements.
