#1 With "friends" like this you don't need enemies.

#2 William Fisher has written several articles for the OP ED page of The Modern Tribune including one on Arab reforms. In the latter article he blames the kings and presidents of the Arab countries of the middle east for stifling human rights and reform. I could not find this open letter at The Modern Tribune or elsewhere other than the Arab News and wonder why it would appear only in an Arab on line newspaper. Is this paper owned by one of the Kingdoms criticized by Fisher?

#4 For the record, Arab News is a Saudi paper.

It is the paper who didn't qualify the Beslan massacre, it is the paper who called the perpetrators "terrorists", yes with the quotes. It is Mr Wiilliam Fischer the guy who can write in Arab News without feeling nausea.

#5 Theyâre getting snookered. Theyâre being misled â again. Theyâre being told that things are getting better in Iraq, when clearly they are getting worse.

No, the MSM is making it look worse, by reporting the incidents of attacks. What they don't say is that the rest of Iraq is relatively quiet. Just because there's trouble in Baghdad does NOT mean that the rest of Iraq is aflame.
