Robert Rosenthal, director of the Center for Investigative Reporting, will moderate a panel including dispatches co-editors Mort Rosenblum and Gary Knight, along with Eric Stover, director of the Human Rights Center and adjunct professor of public health, and RÌÄå©my Ourdan, celebrated chief correspondent of Le Monde in Paris.

In dispatches’ second issue, Beyond Iraq, Rod Nordland sets the scene on the ground in a powerful first-person narrative; Jamie Tarabay talks to Iraqis and Arab neighbors who feel the impact of the war up close; Yuri Kozyrev dramatically portrays each stage of conflict and collapse in Iraq; RÌÄå©my Ourdan explains how U.S. policy strengthens al Qaeda and swells terrorist ranks; Keith Richburg follows the ripples spreading beyond Iraq to the rest of the world; and Jeff Danziger’s cartoon panel captures the anguish of young Americans stuck fighting an un-winnable war.
