Fisk complains about John Malkovich's unfriendly remarks: Robert Fisk: Why does John Malkovich want to kill me? He might be denied any further visas to Britain until he apologises for his remarks. But the damage has been done 14 May 2002 It used to be just a trickle, a steady drip-drip of hate mail which arrived once a week, castigating me for reporting on the killing of innocent Lebanese under Israeli air raids or for suggesting that Arabs – as well as Israelis – wanted peace in the Middle East. argument.independent.co.uk What's the matter, Robert, can dish it out but can't take it? All you're for is peace and equality, right? That's why you accuse Israelis of "genocide", "massacre" and "war crimes" left and right without evidence, or, I might add, apology when your reports have been shown up as totally bogus? Malkovich said, as far as I understand, "I'd like to shoot him", which is intemperate but not a direct threat or incitement -- as opposed to much of Fisk's work. Fisk still is completely unable to recognize that any part of Mark Steyn's column on him was sarcasm. Beyond parody.

JJ, i found this part of the article a gross inaccuracy... The TMI facility was the site of a serious nuclear accident in 1979. A malfunction in a water system used for steam generators caused a meltdown within a reactor core, setting off the release of radioactive gas. However, despite a national frenzy of fear and speculation, there were no injuries due to radiation exposure. the following presents a pretty complete picture of the problem and how it was reported. deaths from three mile island nuclear fallout continue to occur. the infant mortality rate jumped after the incident...the article gives precise numbers. the important thing for everyone to know is that in the event you are near a fallout zone, KI, Potassium Iodide, can be used to protect pregnant women and small children. your doctor can provide dose info. and of course my book and fallout zone calculator will enable you to make your own judgement about whether to flee and which direction to go. unclewest here is the link.. ki4u.com
