Getting tired of the Western perspective of the Iraq war? Looking for raw, unedited, unsanitized images from the Iraq war? Want to know what the average Ali is thinking on the streets? Check this out:

However, please be careful, this site does have include very graphic pictures.
Excellent. I have been looking for just such a site. Thanks.

FYI, Al-Jazeera is considered the CNN of Middle East. Supported financially by the al-Thani royal family ruling Qatar but given unlimited editorial freedom (apparently, it is a prestige issue for Qatar). Almost all of its staff and reporters come from all over the Middle East outside of Qatar.
ABC, CNN, NBC, Fox, et al have special arrangements with Al-Jazeera which would provide the networks with raw footage captured by Al-Jazeera. So it is possible that many of the footages you see on CNN/ABC/NBC/Fox originated from Al-Jazeera.

Too close to being war-related. Please continue in the appropriate thread in the War Discussion subforum.
