Dahr Jamail has had some of the best first hand writing on Iraq. I received this letter from my sister Madelane and her anarcho-vegan son Cameron on Feb 21. I leave you to guess what his input was.

Dahr Jamail at Kane Hall last night
Cameron saw him last night at Kane Hall. He was very impressed, but said that he mostly reiterated what was said on his weblog. Apparently, he will also be apeaking to the Bainbridge Island High School. Dahr Jamal was told by Scott Ritter who still has extensive ties within the government and especially CIA that an "anonymous unimpeachable source" (Dahr's quote) that there will be bombing campaings against Iran starting in may. That's just what we need to do, go bomb a nuclear power!!! What lovely thoughts this brings to mind. Huh big brother?!?!?! May that Asshole rot in the deepest pit of HELL which is reserved soley for taxidermists, lawyers, and him! (i hope he has fun with all that piped in muzak and the faux 80's waiting room..... scary huh?) I take it you've already guessed that I have had help writing this, I'll let you decide who said what (even though you know that i'm the one with the FUNNY sence of humor)

Tomgram: McGovern on the Iranian and Israeli nuclear programs

For a host of good reasons -- the huge and draining commitment of U.S. forces to Iraq and Iran's ability to stir the Iraqi pot to boiling, for starters -- the notion that the Bush administration would mount a "preemptive" air attack on Iran seems insane. And still more insane if the objective includes overthrowing Iran's government again, as in 1953 -- this time under the rubric of "regime change." But Bush administration policy toward the Middle East is being run by men -- yes, only men -- who were routinely referred to in high circles in Washington during the 1980s as "the crazies." I can attest to that personally, but one need not take my word for it.
