ELECTRONIC IRAQ 


Entrance to Abu Ghraib prison, Iraq.

Electronic Iraq is a supplementary news portal from the people who brought you the Electronic Intifada (founded 2001) and veteran antiwar campaigners Voices in the Wilderness (founded 1996).

Electronic Iraq was launched on 8 February 2003 to offer a humanitarian perspective during the then-looming conflict, as the U.S. government made clear its determination to go to war against Iraq.

It was the alternative news moonshot. Before, during, and after the U.S. "Shock & Awe" bombing campaign, eIraq writers from Voices in the Wilderness's Iraq Peace Team reported on what they saw and heard via available Internet and a satellite modem connection. Visitors got a never-before-seen glimpse of war and its aftermath through the eyes of peace activists based at ground zero.

Post war, eIraq's work continues, documenting the U.S. occupation and the rebuilding of Iraq, offering a range of reportage that includes News & Analysis; Opinion/Editorial; Iraq Diaries; International Law; Aid & Development; The Media; Art, Music & Culture; and Action & Activism.
