Raed Jarrar

I wrote a profile of Iraqi peace activist Raed Jarrar that should be out soon in Mother Jones. You may have seen his blog Raed in the Middle, or heard about him being prohibited from flying from New York to Oakland because he was wearing a t-shirt with Arabic script.

In any case, as I found out, he's an extremely interesting and impressive guy. You should check this stuff out:

Jarrar interviewed about the current conflict on Antiwar Radio.
