    رداً على الإتهام الموجه ضدي كعميل للنظام السوري

    خلال فترة عملي كصحفي على امتداد تسعة أعوام، اتُهمتُ بالعمالة للأمريكيين والإيرانيين والإسرائيليين والقطريين وحكومة أفغانستان وغيرهم. نحن معشر الصحفيين معتادون على اتهامات التشهيرية السخيفة. في إحدى المرات حكم علي الطالبان بالإعدام لأنهم ظنوا بأنني جاسوس. اعتقدت بأنهم أقل فطنة من غيرهم. الآن أجد أنه من الحري بي أن أرد على اتهامات المغرضين الدنيئة بالرغم من كونها د..

    A Response to the Accusation of Being an Agent of the Syrian Regime

    In my nine years as a journalist I was accused of being an agent for the Americans, Iranians, Israelis, Qataris, the Afghan government, and others.

    A Critique of Reporting on the Middle East

    I’ve spent most of the last eight years working in Iraq and also in Somalia, Afghanistan, Yemen, and other countries in the Muslim world. So all my work has taken place in the shadow of the war on terror and has in fact been thanks to this war, even if I’ve labo..

  • Who Cares About Osama

    Who Cares About Osama

    A flight from Istanbul to New York the day after Usama Bin Ladin was assassinated is an inopportune time to write about what it all means, but I would be thinking about little else anyway between the security checks, the turbulence and the guy at customs asking me what I was just doing in Iraq. ..

    Prospects for the Sectarian Terrain (Part I)

    On 22 March, Sha‘lan Sharif wrote an article in the spirit of Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal,” in al-Akhbar, the Arab world’s leading leftist newspaper. Sharif compared “the Jewish question” in pre holocaust Europe to the “Shiite question” of today. Jews were accused of conspiring ag..

    How it Started in Yemen: From Tahrir to Taghyir

    On February 11 after the Friday noon prayers Yemeni students and activists organized a demonstration in the capital city of Sanaa in solidarity with Egyptian demonstrators frustrated with Mubarak’s refusal to resign. At about 1 PM they met in front of the small rou..

    Aftermath . . . America's Wars in the Middle East (Part 2)

    Over the years it seems like every time I visited Iraq I had to remove names of friends or contacts from my mobile phone because they were dead. Perhaps so death seemed as foretold as that of Abu Omar, an Awakening leader I met in Baghdad`s Aadhamiya district in 2..

    Aftermath . . . America's Wars in the Middle East (Part 1)

    In my new book “Aftermath: Following the Bloodshed of America’s Wars in the Muslim World,” I look at sectarianism, civil war, occupation, resistance, terrorism and counterinsurgency from Iraq to Lebanon to Afghanistan. While half of the book looks at how the civil ..
