His book Pity the nation opened my eyes to the "Israel is our greatest ally" nonsense being nonsense.

Suddenly, it all came togther. After Body of Secrets came out about the USS LIberty, and then reading Charlie Wilson;s War where Charlie specifically, and without shame, declared that he gets elected by Jews - not the 44 Jews in his district, but all the money they give him, it all came into focus.

Mr. Fisk, I will pour out a libation to you tonight, sir. You did good in this world.

In the 1990s Fisk interviewed Osama Bin Laden three times for the paper. He described him as a "shy man" and looking "every inch the mountain warrior of mujahedin legend" in their first interview in 1993. Independent.uk .

After the September 11 attacks plotted by the Saudi terrorist, Fisk spent the next two decades covering conflicts throughout the Middle East, including in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. As an Arabic speaker and experienced reporter who dismissed journalists who sat behind desks, he became highly regarded for his knowledge of and experience in the region.

He was also well known for his staunch criticism of the US and Israel. In his 2005 book The Great War for Civilisation - The Conquest of the Middle East he wrote about the region's history and also about many of the conflicts on which he reported, expressing his criticism of US, UK and Israeli policies.
