What's the name of the journalist who was mugged (in Lebanon, I think?) There was a picture of him with a very bandaged head and he was on the record as saying that he deserved it because he was part of the Imperialist machine that had been repressing Arabs for years and years (or some such rot).

Journalists can be odd.

That's Robert Fisk, the British journalist and onetime correspondent for The Independent in Afghanistan.

In December 2001 he was beaten to a pulp in Pakistan by a group of refugees from Afghanistan.
