ABPJ: With all due respect (very little) I would submit that the accuracy of journalists' reporting of world affairs is on a par with the accuracy of their reporting on aviation. Whether on the West Bank, in Kosovo or at the scene of a plane crash, you are reliant on your skills to convey the truth - skills which you prove time and time again are grossly lacking. The aftermath of September 11th is the best illustration we have ever had of the complete inadequacy of journalists. The newspapers, radio and TV were filled week after week with dire prognostications of the dreadful things that were about to happen, none of which ever came to pass. I commend your zeal to bring me what you believe to be the truth, but please don't put yourself in harm's way on my account, or claim to be doing so.
