Seems credible to me...

"If Americans Knew was originally founded by an American freelance journalist, Alison Weir, who traveled independently throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip in February and March of 2001. Ms. Weir found a situation largely the reverse of what was being reported by the American media. Upon further examination of this issue – she read dozens of books on the topic – she found that the U.S. press portrayal was significantly at odds with information being reported by media throughout the rest of the world."

“Ms. Weir presents a powerful, well documented view of the Middle East today. She is intelligent, careful, and critical. American policy makers would benefit greatly from hearing her first-hand observations and attempting to answer the questions she poses.”--Tom Campbell, Former Congressman and Dean of Haas School of Business

Other board members include:

Former eleven-term Illinois Congressman Paul Findley, (former senior member of the House Middle East Committee) recognized as one of our nation’s foremost experts on US foreign policy regarding the Middle East.

Ambassador Andrew I. Killgore who served as a career foreign service officer and as a U.S. Ambassador. In 1982, he co-founded the award-winning Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Ambassador Killgore also received the prestigious “Foreign Service Cup” in 1997.
