Hi there,

As the future of democracy in the United States hangs in the balance, the need for courageous independent media is more important than ever. Our reporting centers the voices of people routinely excluded from corporate and government-run media, such as those raising deep questions about war and peace, demanding an end to our global reliance on fossil fuels. Because we are audience-supported, we need your help today. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support independent media? From now until Giving Tuesday, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $45. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

-Amy Goodman

Kidnapped Journalist: “There Is Very Short Time”

HeadlineFeb 10, 2006

And in Iraq, a new video has been broadcast showing kidnapped freelance journalist Jill Carroll. The video, aired on the Kuwaiti television network Ali Rai, was the third to show Caroll since she was kidnapped in Baghdad over one month ago. Wearing a headscarf, Carroll said: “I am here. I am fine. Please just do whatever they want, give them whatever they want as quickly as possible. There is very short time.” Caroll’s captors have demanded the release of all female Iraqi prisoners held in Iraq. On Thursday, Iraq’s deputy justice minister said about 450 male Iraqi detainees will be released next week — but not the four of five Iraqi women believed to be imprisoned.
