Journalists in the Wild

Journalists in the Wild
Robert Fisk
Robert Fisk a British journalist who has been based in Beirut as the Middle East correspondent for “The Independent”for over 20 years. Robert holds more British and international journalism awards than any other foreign correspondent. Known for his fearlessness in reporting and ability to access notoriously inaccessible figures and places, Robert got to interview Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden during the 1990s; and managed to do it three times. He also believed that the war with Iraq was just a setup, “Irather think that we are being set up for war. In fact, we are being prepared for the awful, incredible, unspeakable possibility that the UN inspectors will find absolutely no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq”. For him truth was always more important than the facts.
