Oh dear. Does anybody take Robert Fisk seriously? His name has given rise
to a verb. To fisk: to refute an erroneous argument with a point-by-point
refutation. It was coined when the bloggers noticed the nonsense he was
posting from Afghanistan, and has now blossomed into a cottage inudstry.
But veering back on-topic...
Glenn Reynolds <http://www.instapundit.com/> has a post today, citing an
item from the Strait Times:
"The Marines found 123 prisoners, including five women, barely alive in an
underground warren of cells and torture chambers. . . ."
The description from there gets a little graphic. Reynolds concludes with:
"Yeah, but why weren't these Marines doing something important, like
looking for lost antiquities?"
