BtW Amos, John Pilger is not "my biased columnist." He is without doubt the finest investigative journalist around.

If you had taken the time to read both articles, you would have discovered that since the early sixties he has studied American politics,interviewing most of the important political figures from then till now.

John Pilger's comparison of Obama and Robert Kennedy (a man he knew well) is most illuminating.

Perhaps if the US had some commentators of the stature of John Pilger, the American public would not be so politically ignorant, or so politically powerless...Ake
