Thursday, January 04, 2007  And the war drags on . . .    The
above, noted by Martha, is from Nancy Trejos' "Iraq's Woes Are
Adding Major Risks To Childbirth" in today's Washington Post. If
you missed it, I did but I'll be listening shortly, Dahr Jamail
was the guest for the full hour on KPFA's Flashpoints. Rebecca
has a summary of Nora Barrows-Friedman's interview with Dahr:
"nora barrows-friedman interviewed dahr jamail on flashpoints."
If you're unable to listen to the interview (due to computers or
hearing), Rebecca's got a pretty indepth summary. But to tie
Barrows-Friedman's interview in with the above highlight, Dahr
noted that the health care system was already under (prolonged)
attack before the war due to the sanctions.  Tonight, we'll be
focusing on the pretrial because I'm not sure how much time I'll
have tomorrow morning. (I've got to speak fairly early.) But
before we get to that, Keesha found a highlight that she felt
offered "perspective often missing in a lot of the coverage.
