Did a lousy job covering Lebanon while a bureau chief in Beirut. I wrote a lot about him being a cheap propagandist for Hariri. I had known from CNN sources that he quit the network to work for the Hariri family. Sure enough, Al-Akhbar reported today that even delivered a strong political speech in a Hariri family affair in Paris. But then again: I only wish the Hariri family incompetent, untalented, and professional propagandists like Brent Sadler. Hell, Mubarak's propagandists are better than Sadler.
