I don't really see it as threatening anybody. He was asked a question of who he would most like to fight to the death. One would assume he could just as easily answer with Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein or his father etc. If his answering the question is a threat then it would also be a threat to answer a question like "who would you most like to get in the ring and box with?" because that is the threat of physical violence as well. That would also make it wrong of all of us when we say Arafat needs to be shot or that we would do it ourselves given the opportunity.

He didn't volunteer the information, he was asked off hand and I figure he answered the same way. I personally wish that Fisk character would get offed by the same Palestinians he supports- it would serve him right. I can't read any of his articles it makes me so mad- so I understand exactly how John Malkovich feels.

Good point.

Malkovich was asked whom he wanted to fight to the death. He shifted the burden of the question back, by actually reducing the threat of the consequence, concisely point blank.

1) He'd rather shoot than fight to the death,...smart.

2) Gave the name of a person, rather than a cause, again allows the questioner to imply the person named is evil and throws him on the defensive.

What crime is on the books in Britain to charge a questioner for promoting 'fights to the death'?
