Reader comment on item: Strange Logic in the Lebanon War
in response to reader comment: Newspeak - The Indepenent style
Submitted by MC (United Kingdom), Aug 16, 2006 at 16:23
Its a pity Vijay didn't read the Independent and Robert Fisk's articles before damning them both as pro Hizbollah. If he had he would have know that Fisk has been as consistent in his criticism of Hizbollah as he has of Israel. Its also a pity that so much attention has been devoted to a few dodgy photos and so little to pictures such as that of a Red Cross ambulance bombed by the Israelis.
