Unfiltered News about the War in Iraq

Glenn Greenwald has posted a report on Salon that quotes a couple TV interviews where Iraqi's were unexpectedly candid in their assessments of what America has done for Iraq. Here's a quote:

ALI FADHIL: That's a big question, assessment. Well, basically, probably, I'll kind of sum it in a few words.

It's -- we have a country where the government is not functioning after five years. We have too many internal problems. And we have the violence increasing day after day.

We have a huge crisis of refugees inside and outside Iraq. We have a total failure of the -- of the civilian -- the civilian structure and what's happening inside. We have the sectarian divisions increasing. We didn't have that before. Now we have it. So, basically, my assessment is we have a whole nation called Iraq, now it's wiped out.

That's just the beginning of what this "grateful" Iraqi has to say.
