There is a great website run by an unembedded Indymedia reporter,
Brain Conley AKA Sharpie,  http://Aliveinbaghdad.org which has articles, photos
and video clips Brian has been compliling while in Amman and now in Iraq. He has only been in Iraq a few days and has already witnessed several bombings. He had a in depth interview with Hanna Ibrahim, director of the association “Women’s Will” which supports refugees and advocates for women’s rights in Iraq. Check out his website and if you can make any contribution for the uncensored telling of truth as told by those expereincing it on the ground please donate any funds you can directly on his website.
Sharpie is not subsidised by any corporate funders and is willing

Sick Joke???

25.10.2005 19:33

from the site- in his own words
QUOTE "Multi National Force"

Oh, how I wish I had lived in Nazi Germany, so that I could have read reports from "independent German journalists" describe the Nazi occupations first hand as a "Multi National Force".

IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE SOME KIND OF SICK JOKE???

A invading army of occupation, given total immunity for any and all crimes committed by them in Iraq, accompanied by some of the worst racist mercenary scum in Earth's history, and some bastard wants to whitewash them by calling them a "Multi National Force"???

Let's get this straight, Twilight. You've launched that viscious attack on him because he used the term multinational force and that alone?

Observer

As much an indymedia reporter as anyone else

26.10.2005 02:00

"Brian “Sharpie” Conley is a 25 year old filmmaker who, through his work with the alternative news organization Indymedia, and his own solo work, has contributed to or produced seven films, traveled the country, done international work in Quebec City and Guatemala, and has been shooting video for seven years. Through his work with Indymedia he has contributed to several films with international reach, most notably two films about the FTAA, Trading Freedom and more recently The Miami Model"

blaa blaa

The strength and weekness of indymedia is that anyone can be an indymedia reporter and at the same time, nobody is!
