U.S. immigration officials refused Tuesday to allow Robert Fisk, longtime Middle East correspondent for the London newspaper, The Independent, to board a plane from Toronto to Denver. Fisk was on his way to Santa Fe for a sold-out appearance in the Lannan Foundation’s readings-and-conversations series Wednesday night.
According to Christie Mazuera Davis, a Lannan program officer, Fisk was told that his papers were not in order.
Davis made last-minute arrangements Wednesday for Amy Goodman, host of Pacifica Radio’s daily news show, Democracy Now!, to interview Fisk via satellite from a television station in Toronto. He appeared on a large screen onstage at the Lensic Performing Arts Center.
The controversial British journalist, who is based in Beirut, filed many eyewitness reports on the U.S. invasion of Iraq and criticized Western reporters for “hotel journalism ,” a phrase he coined to describe correspondents who covered the war from heavily fortified hotel suites and offices.

No question he deserved it. He must've done something to offend Americans so badly that it's his own fault for being denied entry.
I'm sure he'll see it that way as well.

The Brits are good people, but they can keep their own trash.

This is total garbage.
Now if I get the urge to punch him in the head, I have no choice but to buy a plane ticket?
This puts fisking beyond the budget of poor and underprivileged Americans.

According to Christie Mazuera Davis, a Lannan program officer, Fisk was told that his papers were not in order. He was not barred from the country for his politics, he was delayed because of a paperwork problem.
He probably spelled his name wrong.

This certainly is worth a good chuckle. The leftist idiot has an I.Q. of a bag of hammers.
