Website - news straight from Iraq

Hi guys,
i found this website www.albasrah.net... i haven't been able to go through it entirely.
It seems to have stories and photos by the Iraqi people of what is happen in Iraq, the site is half in English and Half Arabic.
From the about us Page:

Albasrah.net is a personal website that first appeared on the Internet in April 2003 as a personal endeavor.
Our intention was to bring together everything about the beautiful city of al-Basrah – its history, culture, heritage, and art.
But the invasion of Iraq by the international terrorist mafia gangs compelled us to focus on what was more important in this critical period than the history of our Arab nation and our beloved country, namely the defense of Iraq. Our task then became to gather together and present all the news and facts – written articles, video clips, and sound recordings – in both Arabic and English – that expose the occupation and shed light on its crimes and its true aims. We also strive to protect patriotic, Arab nationalist, and Islamic readers from the falsification and distortion of their identity and from being strung along by the lies of the misleading media.

Now that the enemy’s lies have been exposed and the heroic might of the Iraqi Resistance has grown into a heroic liberation movement on the verge of freeing Iraq from occupation, the name al-Basrah increases our pride in serving as the voice of the supreme Resistance and the rostrum of revolutionary free Iraq and of all free men and women, regardless of their different points of view and political party orientation. How could it be any other way, since Umm Qasr, the gateway to defiant city of al-Basrah, was the first fortress to smash the enemy and dash his hopes? We as Arabs are an inalienable part of the glorious Arab Nation. No racism from across the border to the east, full of hatred for everything that is Arab, can change Iraq’s Arab identity, the very essence of which protects minorities and guarantees their rights.

We ask God and you for help in serving our glorious country, our beloved Iraq.

We warmly welcome any suggestions or contributions that are in conformity with the outlook of our website.

I thought is may be of interest of people to see the news direct from the other side of the fence.

Thanks for the link....

I will check it out.

flipped through it a bit...ultimately it appears like its going to be a heavily slanted propaganda piece...anti us type stuff of course by some locals whom aren't too keen on the new setup.

Not saying dont read it..just keep in mind their perspective is definately skewed and with an agenda..like watching fox news. a side of the story, not the truth.
