News, photography and analysis by an award-winning independent journalist and select colleagues

Matt Renner of Truthout.org asks Dahr about some of the untold stories of the Iraq war, including the hidden (by the US media) ramifications of the so-called “surge” strategy and the backstory to the brutal 2004 sieges of Fallujah. Dahr also discusses the personal impact and choices related to being an “unembedded” correspondent reporting from a US-occupied war zone.
