ABOUT DAHR JAMAIL\'S BEYOND THE GREEN ZONE

More than 1 million Iraqis dead. Rarely acknowledged by the mainstream media, this is just a faceless statistic???a necessary result of war. Rather than

report from the sidelines of the U.S. military,

independent journalist Dahr Jamail walked the streets, lived in the homes and communities of Iraqis under U.S. occupation to present a very different picture.



Giving first-hand accounts from Iraqi families who live the daily atrocities of military occupation, Dahr Jamail gives a human face to the suffering in Iraq, and in the process reveals little known truths of the war in Iraq.



Dahr Jamail is an independent journalist who hascovered the Middle East for more than four years. He has reported extensively from inside Iraq and has also

reported from Syria, Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. Jamail writes for the Inter Press Service, The Asia Times, and many other outlets. His reports have been

published in the Nation, The Sunday Herald, The Guardian, Foreign Policy in Focus, and The Independent, among other publications.



ABOUT SCAHILL\'S BLACKWATER:

MEET BLACKWATER USA, the powerful private army that the U.S. government has made its Praetorian Guard for the \"global war on terror.\" Blackwater has the world\'s largest private military base, a fleet of twenty aircraft, and 20,000 contractors at the ready. Run by a multimillionaire Christian conservative who bankrolls President Bush and his allies, its forces are capable of overthrowing governments, and yet most

people had never heard of Blackwater before this fall.





Jeremy Scahill is a Polk Award-winning investigative journalist. He is a frequent contributor to The Nation magazine and a correspondent for the national radio and television show Democracy Now!. Scahill has

reported extensively from Iraq, the former Yugoslavia and Nigeria. He is currently a Puffin Foundation Writing Fellow at The Nation Institute.
