The very fact that someone[s] fear Pilger, IMHO speaks to how good he is.....Although Ratner and Scahill are no slouchers!
Pilger also made some great calls about JFK the film and about Bobby Kennedy in Distant Voices. Okay he used a schill like Dan Rather in this but Pilger himself comes across as pretty darn genuine!
