Robert Fisk

From a quote in Wikipedia:

"In an essay titled, "Why does John Malkovich want to kill me?", Fisk states that he and other journalists who criticize U.S. and Israeli policy in the Middle East will have to deal with hate mail and death threats. In that essay, he refers to actor John Malkovich's remark in May 2002 at the Cambridge Union Society, when asked who he would like to fight to the death, that he would rather just shoot Fisk."

Late last year, I had a conversation with someone on history and politics. When I mentioned Robert Fisk of the Independent, he immediately exclaimed hotly
that he would shoot him if he could. The comment pretty much echoed that of the quote
above. Hilarious. This person and another person who was present were educated in history.

I think he has the same sentiment regarding Michael Moore too.
Any intelligent person would...
