excerpts from: For 10 years, we've lied to ourselves to avoid asking the one real question
by Robert Fisk, The Independent, 3 September 2011
“By their books, ye shall know them. I'm talking about the volumes, the libraries – nay, the very halls of literature – which the international crimes against humanity of 11 September 2001 have spawned. Many are spavined with pseudo-patriotism and self-regard, others rotten with the hopeless mythology of CIA/Mossad culprits, a few (from the Muslim world, alas) even referring to the killers as "boys", almost all avoiding the one thing which any cop looks for after a street crime: the motive.Why so, I ask myself, [...] Have we managed to silence ourselves as well as the world with our own fears? Are we still not able to say those three sentences: The 19 murderers of 9/11 claimed they were Muslims. They came from a place called the Middle East. Is there a problem out there?”

excerpts from: Terror In America - The awesome cruelty of a doomed people
by Robert Fisk, The Independent, 12 September 2001
“So it has come to this. The entire modern history of the Middle East [...] all erased within hours as those who claim to represent a crushed, humiliated population struck back with the wickedness and awesome cruelty of a doomed people.Is it fair - is it moral - to write this so soon, without proof, without a shred of evidence, when the last act of barbarism in Oklahoma [1995 Oklahoma City bombing] turned out to be the work of home-grown Americans? I fear it is.”
