If you don't find the article very emotive try Robert Fisk's on the subject https://www.counterpunch.org/fisk12152004.html. If Fisk has the facts straight the chap got the beating of his life for interfering with an army looting at his work place and not only dies and gets no justice for his ...

Bit of a GG overload of late perhaps, quite appart from being a pain cutting out the interuptions from this or that, I thought he was being a bit personal with the physical fitness issue in the last show on the 14th. Not really a rivetting issue.

I hope someone does bomb Iran one of these days. That's the only thing they seem to understand, they don't know what diplomacy is, since they aren't a civilized nation.

Tariq Ali: Author and activist.

Scott ritter: author, former Marine and UNSCOM Senior inspector. (doing the rounds with Hersh promoting his book "Target Iran" of late)


Not Academic or Journo but good ...
