Fisk Turned Away from US

From the Free New Mexican:
Lannan speaker delayed in Canada

"U.S. immigration officials refused Tuesday to allow Robert Fisk, longtime Middle East correspondent for the London newspaper, The Independent, to board a plane from Toronto to Denver. Fisk was on his way to Santa Fe for a sold-out appearance in the Lannan FoundationÂ’s readings-and-conversations series Wednesday night.

According to Christie Mazuera Davis, a Lannan program officer, Fisk was told that his papers were not in order."


And he's highly critical of many US moves in the Middle East and generally operates out of the sphere of Western media hypnosis, so of course we don't want him to speak in Santa Fe.
