Bravo! Mr. Fisk - Robert Fisk and 9/11

Bravo! Mr. Fisk - Robert Fisk and 9/11
By Gabriele Zamparini

"Apparently, 'conspiracy stuff' is now shorthand for unspeakable truth." - Gore Vidal

On this blog I have criticized the Independent Middle East correspondent Robert Fisk many times for his elitist, biased opinion on the Internet and his blindness on the role of the British corporate media, including his beloved Independent, in generating that vicious propaganda that makes those crimes against humanity that Fisk courageously reports not only possible but inevitable.

Every time I have acknowledged he’s a great reporter, an excellent writer and a decent, brave man. This brave man I want today praise for his courage shown in his latest Independent column, Even I question the 'truth' about 9/11

“Let me repeat. I am not a conspiracy theorist. Spare me the ravers. Spare me the plots. But like everyone else, I would like to know the full story of 9/11, not least because it was the trigger for the whole lunatic, meretricious "war on terror" which has led us to disaster in Iraq and Afghanistan and in much of the Middle East.”

After so many journalists, writers, commentators, intellectuals and activists have closed the gates of dissent on the official “truth” on those terrorists attacks in 2001, Fisk’s words must be welcomed by all those who reject nutty conspiracy theories but still believe skepticism has a paramount role in our lives and in our society.

Bravo! Mr. Fisk.
