A blogger's criticism of Robert Fisk redpill8 2007-07-24 1:42 AM
Robert Fisk is one of the greatest reporters of all time. He has written some of the most insightful, biting criticisms about U.S./Israeli/British foreign policy and provided readers, in vivid detail, a vision of of the plight of people living in war torn areas of the Middle East.

But, having said this, I think he is doing a disservice to his readers by claiming his contempt for the Internet and also by his refusal to look critically into the events of 9/11. (text/plain)

Private Security Companies & Fascism Marcus Tullius 2007-07-17 2:08 AM
