Out How? On Withdrawing from Iraq
Video Diary: Brains on Campus Adel, Hometown Baghdad
Recently a series of short documentaries made by Iraqis and filmed in Iraq began appearing on a website called Hometown Baghdad. When the web documentary project is completed, there will be 45 'webisodes', each one presenting something rarely captured in the blur of daily headlines about Iraq: humanity. Electronic Iraq will be posting Hometown Baghdad episodes daily with our other Iraq Diaries.

Soldiers with Mental Health Problems Shipped to Iraq
Columbus, Georgia's Fort Benning is notorious for its involvement in training foreign soldiers, most notably some of the worst human rights offenders in the Latin America of the 80's and 90's. Today Fort Benning is in the news for a different kind of game: commanders at Fort Benning are reportedly ordering soldiers suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress disorder back to Iraq. From training foreign soldiers to torture to forcing tortured soldiers back into a war in a foreign land. It's a disgraceful legacy.

Out How? Juan Cole on Withdrawing from Iraq
Juan Cole has an interesting article in the Nation this week. In "How to Get Out of Iraq," he argues that "Bush is profoundly in error to think that continued US military occupation can forestall further warfare. Sunni Arabs perceive the Americans to have tortured them, destroyed several of their cities and to be keeping them under siege at the behest of the joint Shiite-Kurdish government of Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki. American missteps have steadily driven more and more Sunnis to violence and the support of violence. The Pentagon's own polling shows that between 2003 and 2006 the percentage of Sunni Arabs who thought attacking US troops was legitimate grew from 14 to more than 70."
