In the Guardian, Tim Llewellyn, formerly BBC Middle East correspondent, writes:
"Pilger is known as an opinionated journalist with an appetite for upsetting authority. But this programme was not 'campaigning' journalism. It was a painstaking portrayal of the humiliation Israel's soldiers and politicians visit daily on the Palestinians: not just the deaths, injuries and arrests, but the intrusions of the military into every aspect of a Palestinian's life." (Llewellyn, "False witnesses - ITC approval of John Pilger's documentary is a shot across the bows of mainstream Middle East coverage", The Guardian, January 16, 2003)
We await Michael Green's response with interest.
