Robert Fisk

Robert Fisk is a British journalist and (as of May 6, 2002) Middle Eastern correspondent for The Independent in London. He was one of two Western journalists to stay in Beirut during the Lebanese civil war, as well as being the author of an important history of the conflict, Pity The Nation. After the U.S. launched its attack on Afghanistan shortly following the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks, Fisk was transferred to Pakistan to provide coverage of that conflict. His account of his own beating at the hands of Afghan refugees would lead to the coining of the term Fisking.

Many of his articles appear in ZNet.
