Since several people asked where to find this talk given back on Feb. 5,
I am sending this to peace-announce and greens-announce. The talk is now
available on MIT world. Dr. Fisk is now in Iraq trying to get an
independent perspective out to the world.

"Ask All You Like about 9/11, But For Heaven's Sake Don't Ask Why!"

In this talk, Robert Fisk takes on the American press for over
reporting on the "what and where" of the events of September 11th, and
its inability to broach the question "why"? He is scathing in his
criticism of the Bush administration's change of focus from pursuing
Osama Bin Laden to Saddam Hussein.
Robert Fisk has spent 27 years reporting from the Middle East, and has
covered the Iranian revolution, the Iran-Iraq war, the Persian Gulf
War and the conflict in Algeria. He is a seven-time winner of the
British International Journalist of the Year Award, a two-time winner
of the Amnesty International UK Press Award, and a winner of the John
Hopkins SIAS-CIBA Prize for International Journalism. Dr. Fisk is the
author of three books: The Point of No Return: The Strike Which Broke
the British in Ulster, In Time of War: Ireland, Ulster, and the Price
of Neutrality, and Pity the Nation: Lebanon at War.
