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.

Salim Hamdan was sentenced to five and a half years on Aug. 7. He will have to serve only five months because the judge credited five years and one month of his detention toward the sentence. However, Hamdan can continue to be held as an enemy combatant until a military review board determines he no longer is a threat. Prosecutors had sought a 30-year sentence. (Bloomberg, Aug. 7)
"It was a sorry...thing to see innocent people killed. I don't know what could be given or presented to these innocent people who were killed in the US," Hamdan said at his sentencing hearing. "I personally present my apologies to them if anything what I did have caused them pain." (USA Today, Aug. 8)

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.
