While it sounds like a sexy story, I am not sure David Irving's Middle East sources are 'rock solid.' He was trumpeting that Brisith reporter who was denying that the US had taken the airport a few weeks ago.

You're thinking of Robert Fisk, whose surname is now a verb.

To "Fisk" someone is to take their written screed and rip it to shreds, disproving it on a sentence-by-sentence basis. The term originatied in the blogger community, because it became something of a pastime.

David Irving is the Brit Twit who says that the Holocaust never happened.
