Robert Fisk Writes About Wikileaks’ Iraq Logs

Robert Fisk has to write about Wikileak’s Iraq logs , who else will !!?

The Shaming of America must be read till the end because it is not about the shame America tried to hide but it is about many things our dear old Fisk remembers and discusses including the challenge and the future of the investigative journalism with the existence of Wikileaks and Assange. 

Speaking of Simon Hersh I wonder if we will be able to find one day the tapes showing children being sodomized in Abu Gharib which he spoke about leaked like these documents .

Like Fisk in the beginning , we knew this all the time because our people in Iraq lived and saw but it is the turn of the world to see and act as well.

Unfortunately we are not paying attention as a nation , as in Egypt , as we should to the Iraq Logs , only our regime is happy that Iran and its allies are mentioned , you know it is like Adel Emam’s scene in his play “An eye witness that saw nothing” { Is my name there!!??}  Egypt’s name is not there but Iran and its allies are there and this pleases the Gulf states and Egypt or to be correct the Egyptian regime. The Wikileaks released the Iraq War logs in Weekend and so I wonder if the League of Arab states will comment and act , in fact I hope that the Arab human rights organizations start to work on these logs just like the British and American human rights organizations.

I want to read these logs without distraction , the thing which I can’t do with all that jazz happening in my own country.

    It looks like wikileaks might be the only way the plight of the Sudanese civil society activists in Halayeb become known to the world

    This is the unfortunate case since Egyptian bloggers are so biased in their support of the illegal, military occupation of Halayeb by their armed forces (whilst opposing illegal military occupation in Syria) that they will not mention Al-Taher Hasaay who died under torture whilst being incarcerated by Egyptian forces for a period spanning 5 years, in the same way they publicise Khalid Said's death...

  3. Wikileaks works on insider information being disclosed to the public...

    'We' most definitely are not insiders.

    'You' choose to be unconscionably selective in your causes - Khaled Said deserves media fanfare but two Sudanese civil society activists from illegally occupied Halayeb don't...

    'Time' will make sure the truth comes to the fore - and 'we' will never, ever forget or abandon 'our' just causes.

  4. @Sudanese: since you knw so much, or claim so, show the World and us your evidence. How rude to demand a person to shape her opinion to follow what you think and demand her to follow your line of thinking in her own blog and how stupid to throw this on the Egy bloggers. Setting up a blog is easy and there u can showcase your evidence. You just enjoy coming here expressing your hate and blame to Egyptians, no evidence to ur claims and yournt serving ur ppl by that. 7elo 3anna b2a
