#1 John Pilger is like an insufferable ex-wife, telling her new, dickless lover what a bastard her ex hubby was, saying only the parts of the truth her new love interest can't check out and making up the rest...

These forces are part of a movement against inequality and poverty and war that has arisen in the past six years and is more diverse, more enterprising, more internationalist and more tolerant of difference than anything in my lifetime. It is a movement unburdened by a western liberalism that believes it represents a superior form of life; the wisest know this is colonialism by another name. The wisest also know that just as the conquest of Iraq is unravelling, so a whole system of domination and impoverishment can unravel, too.

Translation: I love dead Americans.

#2 Along with Robert Fisk, Pilger practically invented the Hate America Cult in a career of Goebbels/Streicher invective and distortion that dates back to the 1960s. This has found fertile ground among the Brtish status-seeker classes and their sycophantic colleagues in the Dominions, providing a new target for the raging bigotry that is the centuries-old basis for this evil mob's collective ego and worldview. The Brit-bigot class's smug superiority took a beating
in the Twentieth Century, when they were run out of a large part of the world by ungrateful natives, and when victory in two World Wars served only to bring the hated British working classes to power.

#3 I wish Pilger would go to the same Afghan village as Fisk

#4 When I started reading blogs right after 9/11, I thought the warbloggers were making these guys up. They were such dreadful cartoons; surely they can't exist in real life. I was so disappointed to find out they (Chomsky, Fisk, Pilger, Sontag, etc.) were really saying those awful things. And other people actually paid them to say it. Ugh.
