60,000 Iraqis 'Disappeared' into US Camps
Dahr Jamail
Tuesday, May 31, 2005

Independent journalist, Dahr Jamail, citing local humanitarian and other sources says the number of Iraqis detained by occupation forces is now well over 60,000 -far in excess of the commonly quoted official figure of 17,000.

Speaking exclusively to BreakForNews.com from Amman, Jordan on Monday night, Jamail said his sources included many doctors and the director of a humanitarian organization in Fallujah.

"These people are missing person's who have essentially been 'disappeared' in their own country, said Jamail.

"Their families don't know where they've been held, what the charges are. And this is infuriating people... some of whom are angry enough to pick up a gun."

1. This is probably very petty ...

... but when an author doesn't even know how to make a plural word ("person's") it makes me doubt the professionalism of the work. I can't help it.

2. You are right.

It is petty.

4. Maybe...

but if they couldn't get THAT detail right, how do you know the other details are right?

3. I saw Dahr Jamail speak about man's inhumanities to man.

We need to stop the fighting. We need peace and we need it now!

We also need people like Dahr Jamail to continue doing exactly as he is - bring forth the truth, both in words and film to support the all to horrible facts about a war that needs to stop.
