A source for real information about Iraq

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

I've noted with interest the posts about places you can go on the internet to get real news about Iraq. It occurred to me to mention a place I check out. It is the site for Refugees International, a refugee advocacy group. These people get their funding from direct donations and from non-governmental grants, so they are not beholden to any political entity. Their board of directors includes people from all over the world (including Queen Noor of Jordan) and all walks of life. Their president, Ken Bacon, courageously spoke out AGAINST going to war in Iraq in a powerful piece in the Boston Globe about a year ago. They have a special section on Iraq at their site, plus information about refugee situations around the world. You can even opt to have the latest news emailed directly to you.

It's a site worth checking out. Here's the url: www.refugeesinternational.org
