3. Fisk's "Facts"

"the fact that the majority of hijackers in the crimes against humanity of 11 September 2001 came from the kingdom "

Fisk's "facts" eh? Every piece Fisk writes is designed to lure the left into credulity with derision of Bush. After the set up, wham, out come the myths that the war policies rely on.

"The bomb in Beirut...must still have come as a rude shock to the luxuriating President"

Here Fisk exonerates Bush from any suspicion of having perpetrated a false flag attack. Another assertion based on Fisk "facts".

4. You don't like Mr Fisk?

I don't see what the Bushites would get from killing another member of the "ruling coalition" in parliament in an embassy vehicle.
