CKUT Radio: Iraq - Resistance, Occupation and Death

Listen to an interview with Dahr Jamail, an independent journalist who is
currently in Occupied Iraq. Dahr speaks about the growing Iraqi resistance
to the American and British lead occupation. The interview also focuses on
the deadly reality of the military occupation of Iraq.

Associated Press has estimated that over 1361 Iraqis were killed from
April 1st to April 30th, and that at least 136 US troops died during the
same period, about 1/10th the number of Iraqi deaths.  A significant
amount of the occupation carnage inflicted on Iraqi civilians by
occupation forces, took place in the city of Falluja, where official
estimates have labelled the number of Iraqi deaths at over 700 during the
month of April.

The April 2004 siege of Fallujah, where Americans unleashed their arsenal
of warplanes and tanks, became a symbol of resistance that rallied many
Iraqis - Shiite and Sunni - and people throughout the world in support of
the Iraqi resistance.

It was also the deadly reality of resistance to the American lead
occupation, which was broadcast in images throughout Iraq and the world,
which illustrated the deadly reality of American & British military
occupation. Importantly the over 700 deaths in Fallujah and bloody images
broadcast from the occupation of Iraq throughout the month of April,
garnered almost zero response from G8 leaders, from Canada, to France, to
Japan, illustrating the absolute complicity for what many international
organizations are calling American war crimes in Iraq.
