I just heard Robert Fisk interviewed. Sounds like the most intelligent reporter in the world to me.

His home of the past 25 years, Beirut, Lebanon, has been destroyed by what Fisk feels was unnecessary military action. The Israelis over-reacted. And they came out second best in the conflict.

Fisk speaks Arabic and is one of the few Western journalists to have interviewed Osama bin Laden.

I will be checking out his books.
