We would like to thank everyone who contributed funding towards Dahr Jamail’s recent trip to the Middle East. The following are just a few of the highlights of Dahr’s reporting which your generous donations made possible. We hope that everyone who donated feels a sense of pride in that they assisted in getting this information out to the world.
Sincere thanks,
Webteam and Dahr Jamail
You can always spot them a mile away-he was white, middle-aged, overweight, hair cut close to hide the pattern baldness, red face, wearing a Harley Davidson motorcycle t-shirt and shorts. All of the aforementioned is acceptable in the Middle East, of course, minus the shorts. Aside from a few places like Beirut, wearing shorts in the Middle East isn’t exactly being respectful of the native culture.
But when you are a mercenary, I suppose that’s damned low on your priority list.
