** Dahr Jamail's Iraq Dispatches **

Dahr Jamail will be participating as a witness regarding war crimes in
Fallujah and the torturing of Iraqis in US military detention centers in
Iraq.

*With ongoing controversy surrounding the conduct of the war in Iraq and
the treatment of terror suspects in the wider "War on Terror", Newsnight
is to stage a special programme entitled: "The Allies on Trial"*

Allegations about the allies' conduct of war in Iraq, counter-insurgency
measures and claims of torture in the "War on Terror" - plus the use of
"extraordinary rendition" by the US - continue to surface.

Jeremy Paxman will chair a special programme exploring whether the
allies are guilty of war crimes.

The programme, to be broadcast on Wednesday, 14 December will take the
form of a trial, with advocates arguing the case for the prosecution and
defence with the help of witness and expert testimony.

Clive Stafford Smith - the Legal Director of Reprieve; a charity that
defends prisoners facing the death penalty - will lead the prosecution.
Barrister John Cooper will argue for the defence.

A jury of specially chosen undecided members of the public will give
their verdict.

Over the coming days we are inviting viewers to submit their opinions
and evidence to the programme.

The program will be broadcast at 2230 UK time, Wednesday, December 14th.
