The Last Circle

[Magda Hassan]

Man has Wired lowered it's standards since it featured the piece on the INSLAW Octopus back in the 90s.

Yes! If I recall correctly that was a very good piece in its day when there was very little information published about it.

It can be expected though given the rag's role in setting up Bradley Manning who is being tortured by the U.S. government to implicate the devil Julian Assange and punch his ticket to Gitmo.

Indeed, an infamous black role they have played in this event. They should be ashamed and I hope they do all they can now to repair the damage.

Andrew Rice to me is a smarmy little yuppie prick and his article is just chock a block full of the old rote canards, pejoratives, digs and guilt by association that are so often used to discredit serious researchers. Given the near reverential treatment he gives to Virginia McCullough and Jimmy Hughes it wouldn't surprise me if he is on the establishment payroll.

More later.

Yep. A really very average cliched article, quite poor actually on a subject that any decent writer would have had a field day exploring. To be as mediocre writer as he is he could well have a day job.
