A few things I've been reading re: the war in Iraq lately. You might want to consider checking these out as an alternative to what you're seeing on television and in newspapers:
Robert Fisk--a British journalist currently in Iraq who's not "embedded" with the U.S./UK forces. In particular check out this interview with him done by Democracy Now.
Independent Media Center--if you want to know what's really going on with anti-war protests, this is the place to go. Has links to separate indymedia sites in cities in the U.S. and abroad.
Electronic Iraq--a collection of news stories and links from a decidedly antiwar perspective.
PfaffenBlog--weblog by a professor from the University of Virginia. Well-written with some interesting insights on what's going on. I stumbled across this earlier in the week and keep coming back to it.
Also, a few interesting articles--one which talks about European boycotts of American brands and another which talks about a proposed Senate Bill in Oregon that would classify acts of civil disobedience as terrorism and could result in protesters getting sentences of 25 years to life.
