Hey Bart
I'm not sure if you will be receptive to this
but I am going to ask for you help. For quite awhile I have
been following an unembedded American journalist
in Iraq. His name is Dahr Jamail and his work appears
in many publication across the web. I have been
sending him donations when I can and now I am asking if
you would consider posting the following on you
next issue of Bartcop.
Thanks Bart for your time and attention.

For those of you not familiar with the work of
Dahr Jamail he is one of the only American unembedded journalist in Iraq.
He continues to risk his life to bring the truth
about what is going on in Iraq to the American Public and the world.
He is trying to raise funds to attend the World
Tribunal on **Iraq** where he has been invited to speak. Many of us
that read Bartcop, in my opinion, strived for
the truth about the things that affect not only Americans but those we
inflict
our policies on. Dahr Jamail is attempting to
bring us that truth about Iraq. The following is the letter I received
explaining
his situation. Please dig deep people and help
this man who has continued to show with honor and bravery the true
meaning of journalist. Thanks for any help you
can give.

*Dear readers,*
*I have been invited and will be attending the
upcoming **Rome** session of the World Tribunal on **Iraq**:
Media Wrongs Against Truth and Humanity-Exposing
the Politics of Disinformation. I will be making an in
depth presentation there.*
*Here is a short announcement on it from the events section on my site, which includes a link so you can learn more about the tribunal.
*Date February 10th-13th, 2005
*Location Rome, Italy
*Details*: Dahr Jamail will be presenting at
the next session of the World Tribunal on Iraq: Media Wrongs Against Truth
and Humanity -
Exposing the Politics of Disinformation. For
more information visit http://www.worldtribunal.org/Events/rome.htm
*In order for the tribunal to be able to afford
to bring more Iraqi
witnesses, I volunteered to cover my own expenses
there. *
*Thus, I am appealing for donations to support this important endeavor.*
*In addition, I am hoping to collect enough donations
to cover the expenses, including the flight, for one of the Iraqi
witnesses who has been invited to present at
this very important tribunal.*
*Your support would be very much appreciated,
and would be used to help bring more attention to the lack
of adequate media coverage from occupied **Iraq**.

funds separate from those donated to support my reporting,
please include a short note that it is for tribunal
expenses.*

*Best regards,*
