40. He is a brilliant reporter who always told the truth
reported facts, no 'both sides are doing it' for him, as we here in the U.S. get all the time.

He is a REAL journalist, someone who has been reporting on the stories the U.S. media is just beginning to notice now, for decades. Too bad there were so few like him. The thugs of the world would have been toppled long ago if we had real journalists in this country like Robert Fisk. It was to him and a few others, like Dahr Jamail, that we had to turn to to get the truth over the past decade.

It's nice that AC is now finally telling the truth about the Egyptian regime. But has he revealed the facts about the close relationship it has to this government? How this government sent people to be tortured there under the supervision of the guy the U.S. is now supporting to take over from Mubarak, Suleiman?

AC will only go so far to tell the truth and only when it has been decided there is no more denying it.

But Fisk never holds back facts as he finds them, in war zones, at the top of governments, or anywhere else. Maybe that is why the Brits are a bit more informed than Americans and why Americans get so excited when someone like AC finally acts like a real journalist, for a while.
