Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

On Sunday Saudi Arabia said it would not allow the U.S. to use its facilities for any attack on neighboring Iraq, even if a strike was sanctioned by the United Nations. Meanwhile, in Baghdad a senior Iraqi diplomat has told Democracy Now! that he believes if the United Nations Security Council voted today on Washington’s Iraq Resolution, at least two nations, France and Russia, would veto it. The comments come in the latest installment of Democracy Now!’s Iraq journal filed from Baghdad by Jeremy Scahill and Jacquie Soohen.
