Guess that having a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist on your staff who isn't afraid to speak his mind is still considered to be a good thing in the UK...

The Daily Mirror has a reputation here as being a very anti-war propaganda machine...I can see why they would scoop up Arnett as an employee.
Keep in mind though that this same "Pulitzer Prize winning journalist" has retracted statements before, namely when he reported (untruthfully) that the U.S. was gassing defectors from the Viet Nam war and again when he reported on the "baby factory" (milk producing plant) in Afghanistan.
The Daily Mirror can have him. [img]smile.gif[/img]
