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.

Details are sketchy, but wire accounts indicate some 300 jihadist militants took part in a secret meeting last month in Rawalpindi where they agreed to cooperate in sending fighters across the border to join the insurgency in Afghanistan. Rawalpindi is the military garrison city where the headquarters of the Pakistani army is based—which strongly suggests official sanction, if not outright oversight, of the meeting. Participating groups were said to include Jaish-i-Mohammad, Lashkar-i-Tayyaba, Hezb-ul-Mujahedin, and the al-Badr group. (RFE/RL, July 18)

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.
