Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

The following is from a western aid worker that just returned from Pakistan:
at no point during my time there did i feel threatened
by the community. it needs to be said that the
demonstrations about 'the cartoon' are not about the
cartoon, but are the only means dissenting political
parties can demonstrate agains the musharraf regime.
political demonstrations are outlawed, but a
demonstration against heresy, that just so happens to
be a remarkable show of organization and strength,
musharraf can say nothing against. these
demonstrations are evidence of real internal unrest,
and are using anti-western rhetoric as a convenient
cover.

The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.
