Democracy Now - Interview with Robert Fisk
Anyone listen to/watch Democracy Now today? The last half was an interview with Robert Fisk...

Here's the video stream to that segment:

or www.democracynow.org

Very powerful interview about the Iraq war, war journalists, war in general, etc. Fisk says war is the "Total Failure of the Human Spirit."

Don't miss it!

1. excellent interview....
Robert Fisk is my favorite journalist. I wish there were more like him, especially American journalists, who I find lacking in every respect.

Most Journalist in the US behave like the mouth piece of the US Admin. They rarely challenge US officials strongly enough.


It's got better since Katrina, but it's stil far from satisfactory IMO.
