Mirror man

Written by:Stephen Mitchelmore.

Here�s the text of John Pilger’s latest article: “Blair is a coward“. A raging document to correct the banality of the coverage of our leaders’ evil.

“As a reporter of many wars I am constantly aware that words on the page like these can seem almost abstract, part of a great chess game unconnected to people’s lives.

The most vivid images I carry make that connection. They are the end result of orders given far away by the likes of Bush and Blair, who never see, or would have the courage to see, the effect of their actions on ordinary lives: the blood on their hands.

Let me give a couple of examples�.”
