Fisk Raises 9/11's Rude Question

The forbidden question; WHY?

Fisk Raises 9/11�s Rude Question :: thetyee.ca:

"British journalist Robert Fisk has inspired a verb in the blogosphere: to 'fisk' is to systematically rebut unwelcome arguments. Bloggers supporting Bush and the Iraq war have long applied the term to their own critiques of Fisk's stories from the Middle East.

In Vancouver to promote his book The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East, Fisk showed he can fisk his own opponents and critics quite effectively.
Casually dressed, shirtsleeves rolled up, Fisk spoke to a crowd of over 500 on Sunday night at the Maritime Labour Centre at Triumph and Victoria. He struck his theme at once: 'Refuse to accept the narrative of history laid down by presidents, prime ministers, generals and journalists.'"
