Falluja news round-up

From Falluja.Forum, courtesy sau and walter:

Ewa Jasiewicz interview from current issue of Socialist Worker*

Sgrena's Iraqi articles for Il Manifesti, catalogued here:
document her coverage of 'unusual weapons' (the best term I can come up with) in Falluja.

Hanefeld: Cancer in Iraq

Fallujah was wiped out

Embedded journalism scandal, also covered elsewhere on www.

Juan Cole's latest

Via Medialens
Doug Latimer: IRAQ: US used chemical weapons in Fallujah assault

Other Iraq news of GI home videos from Baqubah, of soldier atrocities via Lenin's Tomb. Photos if you can bear them (and you're warned) from uruknet.info here.

* There's a first for everything including SW links. My precocious son Dodo (no relation to the blogger of the same name) rates the SSY (Scottish Socialist Youth) website highly, incidentally.

Addendum- Ewa Jasiewicz
I've heard this remarkable woman speak a couple of times and have considerable respect for her values and campaigning history, part of which is documented on voices (see link list). She also promotes SAWA, a rape crisis centre and phoneline run by and for Palestinian women with funding through cross-community lines.
