Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

U.S. Poll: 92% Iraqis See US As Occupying Force

HeadlineJun 16, 2004

A new poll commissioned by the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Government has found that 92 percent of Iraqis consider the US an occupying force. More than half believe all Americans behave like those portrayed in the Abu Ghraib prison abuse photos. And 55 percent reported they would feel safer if US troops immediately left. As for the so-called handover of power on June 30, 63 percent of Iraqis believe conditions will improve. The AP obtained a copy of the study which the US was not planning to release to the public.
