NPR interviews Dahr Jamail on State of Iraq Hospitals
December 1, 2006
The five minute interview with Michelle Norris is a good one. However,
if the NPR show were true to its title, "All Things Considered" should
have also considered the much larger role that the US has had in
interfering with health care in Iraq, rather than focusing on the so
called sectarian strife as responsible for the health care catastrophe
in Iraq.
A recommended read to compliment this interview is Dahr Jamail's
hospital report from a year and a half ago
<http://www.brusselstribunal.org/DahrReport.htm>. Kudos to NPR for
finally picking up the trail of the medical system catastrophe in Iraq.
Here's what NPR says of the interview:
"/All things Considered /December 1, 2006 · Iraq's Health Ministry is
controlled by Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's movement, under an
agreement struck by ruling parties, and sectarian influence has impeded
healthcare, according to Dahr Jamail, an independent journalist who's
been covering Iraq's healthcare system for Inter Press Service, a
nonprofit news organization focusing on developing countries.
Jamail says that in his interviews with doctors at 13 hospitals in and
around Baghdad in 2004 and 2005, he discovered a highly politicized
healthcare system in Iraq, as well as other challenges facing the
country's ailing hospitals.
Michele Norris talks with Jamail."

November 7, 2006 - Kurt Strand interview Dahr Jamail on Danish National Television.
On November 7, 2006 a lot of attention in Europe was directed toward the
elections occuring within the US. National Danish Television interviewed
Dahr Jamail on that day, and 10% of the Danish viewing TV at that time
watched Dahr explain why US corporate media cannot be trusted in their
reporting of the war in Iraq.
This 7 minute video is worth seeing. (the interview is in English, so
just wait through the Danish at the beginning)
Talking about the fact of US corporate media distorting the truth from
Iraq may raise eyebrows here in the US.
But in Europe, it is quite different. The viewer gets the sense that the
same conversation is entirely mainstream in Europe.
