Three weeks ago, Robert Fisk, the Middle East correspondent of Britain's Independent, offered a familiar argument to Pearl's kidnappers: Killing the American would be "a major blunder, an own goal of the worst kind," "the best way of ensuring that the suffering" -- of Kashmiris, Afghans, Palestinians, whatever -- "goes unrecorded." Others peddled a similar line: If you release Daniel, he'll be able to tell your story, get your message out.
Hhahahahhaa
Robert Fisk, ever the faithful shill for the Islamics and other "oppressed" 3rd worlders. Even after a bunch of Pakis kicked the tar out of him few weeks back.
Exactly! Fisk is so deluded by his liberal, third world victimology philosophy that a person could walk up to him, bust him the mouth and steal his wallet. He would then thank the person for demonstrating the true feelings of the oppressed poor of the world while presenting his neck to the thief.
I'm amazed the guy can even cross the street without fear of offending someone. And as for leaving out the word Jew in his article; well, every good liberal knows that only "right wing" German Nazis and "right wing" Christians are anti-semitic. Never the poor, oppressed Moslems, in poor oppressed Pakistan.
