Robert Fisk; we hardly knew you. I have always admired Robert Fisk. I like his dispatches and his style. Even when he throws himself into the story, it does not sound like...Thomas Friedman. But I read today several of his articles since the assassination of his friend billionaire Hariri, and I was not amused. He sounded like Walid Jumblat (another friend of his). At one point, in an article he wrote in March, he even talks about "the war of others" in Lebanon. Is this the same Robert Fisk? Will the real Robert Fisk stand up, please.
