http://dahrjamailiraq.com/  Dahr Jamails Middle East site. He has often traveled personally without being "embedded" to get the real story to Iraq, and also went to Lebanon during that uprising in 2006.

www.annainthemiddleeast.com   Anna is a Jewish American who found out the truth about Israel and its occupation and has gone to assist first hand in the telling the truth from the West Bank, one of the occupied territories by Israel. Not really a news site, but a recording of her peace work there. Excellent and worthy of your time. I have met Anna personally. She has published a book, of her journals which I own and she posts her journaling at her site when she is over there.
