High Praise for Dahr's Contribution to Peace in Iraq

Long-time peace activist Ed Kinane has worked in Iraq as a member of Voices in the Wilderness teams and has been a strong supporter of The NewStandard since its inception. Here is what he sent his own supporters when he received our most recent appeal on behalf of correspondent Dahr Jamail:

friends,
many of you supported my travels to iraq last year -- generously. knowing
something of the wartime conditions there and having read dahr's dispatches
and having attended his presentation here in syracuse, i find his reporting
rare and humane. not to mention illuminating. not to mention exceptionally
courageous.

please consider the following appeal from the good folks at newstandard.
they are -- quite literally -- setting a new standard in journalism on the
front line.
