-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Regarding AINA, redux Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 23:25:57 -0400 From: Jeffrey J. Atto <jeff@attoz.com> To: info@chaldeannews.com To Whom It May Concern, In addition to being disappointed about your past interview with Peter BetBasoo ("Behind the AINA"), I was also saddened to see that you are still reprinting "news" from AINA (Page 28 of the most recent issue). AINA has no credentials as a news agency, and has actually blatantly lied in their press releases. I value that you are attempting to create a periodical that can be trusted by its readers. Unfortunately, when the Chaldean News reprints press releases from AINA (The Assyrian International "News" Agency), the quality and image of your paper becomes tarnished because of AINA's distortions and intentional misrepresentations. Thank you for your excellent article "Ruffling Feathers" about Deborah Alkamano's paper. She is absolutely correct when she states that our community is Islamophobic and afraid to identify with the Arab name. What many in our community fail to realize is that the future of our identity and presence in Iraq depends upon an active cooperation and solidarity with the various peoples that live there. We are far closer ethnically, culturally, and otherwise to the Arab and other peoples in the Middle East than to White Anglo-Saxon Protestants here. There's no reason to be ashamed of our community's roots, nor of our pigmented skin. It's about time the more white-washed in our community considered this viewpoint.
