Bahrain comment accuses UK journalist Fisk of publishing lies
Personally, whenever I read one of [Robert Fisk]'s columns I consider the source and brace myself for what I know will be an outrageous hatchet job. I'll never forget the litany of lies this man published about Bahrain, the most notable being his macabre account of refrigerated trucks containing stacks of human corpses being hauled away from Pearl Roundabout when it was first cleared on February 17. It wasn't true. It's quite simple really: People accused of breaking the law are tried and, if found guilty, are punished. It doesn't matter if they are doctors, teachers, artists or businessmen. It doesn't matter if they are Shi'ite, Sunni, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist or Atheists. They can be Bahraini, British, Pakistani, American or any nationality. If they break the law, they must face justice.

Bin Laden's death pretty irrelevant, says Fisk
\"He didn't sit in a cave with computer knobs saying press button b, it's operation 52,\" he said. \"Bin Laden always wanted to get rid of [then Egyptian president Hosni] Mubarak and Ben Ali and [Libya's Muammar] Gaddafi and so on, claiming that they were all infidels working for America and in fact it was millions of ordinary people who peacefully, more or less - certainly in the case of Tunisia and Egypt - got rid of them.\" \"You've got to remember these regimes have always been telling the Americans 'keep on supporting us because if you don't Al Qaeda will take over' - and in fact Al Qaeda did not take over.

Extraordinary scenes: Robert Fisk in Iran
One woman went up to the special forces men, who normally are very brutal with Mr [Mousavi]'s supporters, and said 'can you protect us from the Basij?' He said 'with God's help'. There was 100 metres of no man's land between these thousands of people and I actually walked up and listened to a Basij guy urging his people on to attack the forces of the opposition, saying 'we fought and defended our country in the Iran-Iraq war and now we have to defend it again and we have to move forward'. You could actually just walk a few metres and talk to Mousavi's people. 'The authorities are losing control of what's happening on the streets and that's very dangerous and damaging to them'; Radio National's Fran Kelly interviews The Independent's long-time Middle East correspondent, [Robert Fisk], who is defying Iran's media ban.
