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.

You are right...but the same ilk.
esy..;)
Stay home, Bin-Fisk!
I am not fasmiliar with Fisk, but Amy Goodman could only represent a 3rd rate company. She is not smart, nice, or honest, and well, looks ordinary.
That's one of Fiske's best pictures. Hope he gets to meet and greet some more of his friends in the "Arab Street" real soon, except they should finish the job this time.
Heh heh heh.
Fisk got into Bagdad the same way CNN did, by passing on Saddam's propaganda rather than reporting the news.
I had to see if this was Scrappleface. :D
Heh. Thanks for the laughs. Fisk is was an anti-American ass, is an anti-American ass, and always will be an anti-American ass.
Thanks for the ping - this one made my day. Fisky's good for entertainment value these days and that's about it. I'd buy the video of his beheading.
LOL
Stuck on stupid --- lol, I like it.
Did you know that Fisk was recently found guilty of atempting to impersonate a pinata?
YEAH!!!!
He and a "friend" were found in the airplane lavatory fisking..
Albino turkey vulture in N.M.
LOS OJOS, N.M. — Bird watchers spotted a rare albino turkey vulture in Northern New Mexico, and the unusual bird appears to have said he'd like to have Robert Fisk for dinner.
lol
Liberals love terrorists.
One can only imagine how they would respond if terrorists sought them out for their serial killing and maiming.
