Greg Palast doesn't like 9/11 for some reason. Dances all around the issue, but refuses to touch it. _________________ "All we are asking for is a new International investigation into 9/11" - Willie Rodriguez |

Greg Pallast is very anti-bush and is a very good journalist. I have seen several of his videos. But unfortunately he is cursed because he is a BBC man and that means his anti-bush sentiment is because he is a left winger not because he is pro muslim or anti war or anything else. He is a nother BBC leftwinger.
911 as you rightly say he has avoided the subject like the plague.
his Bush family fortunes was good but what about Clinton and Tony Blair they are/were just as crooked why not do hit pieces on them? _________________

I watched those 8 clips earlier, and although Palast castigates the US media he says nothing about those same attitudes present in the UK media club,as though it's just the US with that particular problem.
I found that most disappointing, him being a BBC reporter 'n all! |

I reccommend Greg Palasts documentary on New Orleans:
http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=...sy+To+Big+Empty
"August 29th, 2006 marked the one year anniversary of the devastation in New Orleans caused by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. This Special Report brings you exclusive footage and the stories you won't hear on the other networks--the hidden political agendas and the suppressed eyewitness reports. Includes on-the-spot reporting from independent journalist Greg Palast.
In this half-hour film, Greg Palast and his team travel to New Orleans to investigate what has happened since Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast last year. On his visit, he discovers that the population of New Orleans is miniscule, the reconstruction sparse, suicide rates are climbing, and many have not, nor know how to, return to the city that care forgot. He examines why residents had to leave, what really caused the flood and why they aren't returning.
Bonus Features Include: Tomorrow's New Orleans - Whose City Will it Be? A half-hour conversation with Amy Goodman and Greg Palast where they sit down to discuss who is accountable for the ongoing disastrous situation in New Orleans" _________________ www.freecycle.org
