About Josh Rushing
Josh Rushing was a United States Marine Captain and press officer for United States Central Command (CENTCOM) during the 2003 Iraq Offensive. He became famous for his appearance in the documentary Control Room, which documented his conversation with Al Jazeera correspondent Hassan Ibrahim. He left the Marine Corps after the Pentagon ordered him not to comment on the movie, and is now working for Al Jazeera English.
In 2007, Palgrave Macmillan published Mission: Al-Jazeera, Rushing's memoir of his journey from a small town in Texas to Al Jazeera English via the Marines.
