An article about the Tikrit bombing in Ms. Riverbend's blog about Iraq-related wars, politics, and occupation. The surrounding articles give a glimpse into her daily life in Baghdad. With such good English, she must be quite an intellectual. Therefore, although she may not have been anti-American originally, her feelings of inclination towards anti-Americanism can be seen.
I don't know what kind of background he has, but instead of being swayed by government propaganda, it's important to take a look at places like this.
Found on Doc Searls' Blog. His article"Are we building bridges or burning them?"
