His bias is an open mind. Sometimes it gets him in trouble because he prints stories as they develop but, he is better than most and actually understands the interplay of factions.

Oh, please. Look at the history of his publications and tell me again how open his mind is. This is the fellow who along with George Galloway is praised by Adam Gadahn in Al-Queda's latest video.

Suprisingly, we can't kill all the Arabs. If "we" insist on getting caught up in regional politics in the mid-east, we ought to know how our bullshit plays on the Arab street. Guys like Fisk will tell us, but if you prefer to ignore that part of the picture have at, your President is with you on that.

:"Guys like Fisk" aren't in the business of "telling us part of the picture". He's clearly not a journalist, he's an advocate and an activist: yet another combatant in the Infowar.

Fascinating attitude. That is exactly what the Democrats need to run against if they want to win in 2008. So far, they have not shown that they understand the world any better than the order imposing Bush, but the opportunity is there.
