Salon.com: "The Iraq insurgency for beginners"
By Evan Kohlmann
Kevin Berger over at Salon.com was gracious enough to interview me for a new piece published online today, titled "The Iraq insurgency for beginners." We discussed in great detail the infrastructure of the insurgency, how and why the U.S. is losing the battle for hearts and minds in Iraq, and questions about the much-publicized role of Iran in fomenting unrest among Iraqi Shiites.
During the interview, I reference a number of documents and sources that can be accessed below:
- "State of the Sunni Insurgency in Iraq: 2006"
- Video of JAAMI chemical rocket attack on U.S. base in Samarra
- Communique from JAAMI responding to Al-Qaida fliers posted in Ramadi
- Saudi Prison Escapees Reported Killed in Iraq
- "Countering the 'New Dayton': A Shift in Strategy for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq."
