Robert Fisk is a British Journalist, based in Beirut, who currently serves as a Middle East correspondent for The Independent newspaper in London. His recent articles bear titles such as "The US forces, like the Crusaders before them, are prisoners in their own fortresses"; and "In Middle Eastern elections, no one bats an eyelid when the leader gets 110 per cent of the vote" which begins, "Democracy. Ah, how the Middle East would love to have some democracy! On the supermarket shelf - and I can assure you, there are plenty of supermarkets in the Middle East - a couple of boxes of democracy would be a good buy, along with three boxes of human rights and four boxes of justice."
