Why, even mass murderers. They are always the quiet, polite kind, who may have been a trifle eccentric (pulling the wings off baby birds, for instance) but otherwise no one in the neighborhood ever suspected they... would... someday.... Although when you shoot with your mouth, in the company of mass-murdering dictators or their, ahem, diplomatic stooges, few can ever again be overcome by the warm, thoughtful, etc. claim.Dick Stanleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-21640166984550992172013-01-08T23:09:09.890+02:002013-01-08T23:09:09.890+02:00Dear Michael: and how does your info on Mr Falk be...Dear Michael: and how does your info on Mr Falk being a very warm, thoughtful and considerate human being change the fact that he is an obsessed anti-Israeli "activist", conspiracy theorist of the worst kind and generally a PITA?SnoopyTheGoonhttp://simplyjews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-62570855343513299952013-01-08T00:54:49.549+02:002013-01-08T00:54:49.549+02:00Hmm...special pleading, methinks.

His remit may be highly specific but, given his academic background and professional qualification as a lawyer, that doesn't excuse sloppy thinking. We all know that if he wasn't prepared to condemn Israel, sight unseen, the magnificently pro-human rights countries like that make up the UN Human Rights Council, such as Egypt, Syria, Cuba, etc, etc, would never have given him the job. <br /><br /><br />"Michael" must think that we are real innocents on this site if he thinks we are going to buy any view that Ricard Falk is actually some sort of objective reporter, given his published comments.<br /><br /><br />Or does Michael think he's knows something we don't?

This is a title that even he has suggested gives the job a very specific focus, one that fits in well with his view of the situation. Also, anyone who has known Professor Falk personally knows him to be a very warm, thoughtful and considerate human being. I would recommend that you read his recent blog postings to get a sense of Falk as a person. Sincerely, Michael <br /><br />http://richardfalk.wordpress.com/2013/01/Michaelnoreply@blogger.com
