Al-Zawraa television is the Iraqi insurgents’ main propaganda tool. The Christian Science Monitor reports on it here. Bill Roggio describes its programming here. He speculated it was based in Syria, while others theorized it was broadcast from a moving vehicle in al-Anbar. Recently, the Egyptian satellite operator Nilesat has pulled it. Now it has relocated to Erbil where it operates openly and appears to be under the protection of Iraqi Kurdish authorities. While in Erbil last month, multiple, unconnected locals pointed out its offices and broadcasting facilities. The tragedy is that if a single congressman or diplomat were to ask the Kurdistan Regional Government publicly about the issue and demand an explanation, they might issue a perfunctory, face-saving denial, but sustained pressure would lead to its closure.
