This interview with Robert Fisk (correspondent for The Independent) is about 2 weeks old. Definitely worth watching IMO.
He raises a lot of good points :)

I dont know if no one else watched that, but it is certainly a decent watch!!

I especially like his points about who would Saddam attack and who is he really a threat to.

Thanks for commenting Lukee..

I liked that part too.
Infact I think he says a lot of "useful" (in lack of better words) stuff.

I wonder why no one comments about him saying the war is about oil? People seem so keen on denying that :) (https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.skalman.nu%2Fimages%2Fsmiles%2Ficon_lol.gif&hash=80998f573242af11a091f7aae239664d86fe57f9)

I watched it and I will do a little research on Mr. Fisk. Looks like it will be easy to find many anti-American statements from the pen of Fisk.

Here\'s a quick look at the mind set of Fisk:

Fox News:
Robert Fisk, who writes for the leftist London newspaper the Independent, is recovering from facial, head and hand injuries incurred at the hands of a mob who gathered after his car broke down. But Fisk, who has described the U.S. and British war in Afghanistan as "slaughter" involving "legally sanctioned death squads" does not blame his attackers, writing, "I understood. I couldn\'t blame them for what they were doing. In fact, if I were the Afghan refugees...I would have done just the same, to Robert Fisk or any other Westerner I could find."

Here is his full article on the assault of Robert Fisk.

Read it, makes you understand a little better than a little quote from the Propaganda Channel itself :)

Ace: Instead of trying to kill Fisk’s credibility, discuss the interview.. Did you agree on anything he said?
Or was it pure anti-Americanism? :eek:

I didnt notice much *anti-american* sentiment, then again, I wasnt looking for them either.

I didn\'t mean to brush it off. I was running short on time. I\'ll post more soon.
