Robert Fisk should retire, NOW: Please get him a gold watch

Really, the man should retire.  After the humiliating apology that his paper had to offer to Prince Nayif, the man should retire.  Look at him here:  ""Are you Mohamed Hosni Sayed Mubarak?" asked Judge Ahmed Refaat. Or Bachar al-Assad? Or Muammar Gaddafi? Or His Majesty King Hamad? Or even His Highness King Abdullah, Guardian of the Three Holy Places in a place called Saudi Arabia?"  I mean, a Middle East correspondent who does not know that there are "two holy" places in Saudi Arabia and not three???  I mean, this is basic and elementary.
