Western correspondents in Lebanon

Now that the Hariri family has come out officially and absolved the Syrian regime from responsibility for the assassination of Rafiq Hariri, the record of writings of Western journalists operating in Lebanon at the time (and that is not only the book of Nicholas Blanford which is basically a verbatim account of the chatter in the Hariri palace at the time, but also includes Robert Fisk and all other correspondents with the exception of Megan Stack and Anthony Shadid among the mainstream journalist) remain out there to be evaluated for its reliance of Hariri Inc.  What does that say about the extent to which Western correspondents are willing to be used in a political plot that serve the interests of US/Israel and EU. I plan to write a book on the Hariri "revolution" but someone needs to write a book to dissect the lousy record of the bulk of Western reporting on Lebanon during those crazy years.
