We've shut him up
O Robert Fisk, além de jornalista, é um chato do caraças (não, não é nenhuma redundância). Só ele para, numa altura destas, vir dizer coisas destas:
We've shut him up. The moment Saddam's hooded executioner pulled the lever of the trapdoor in Baghdad yesterday morning, Washington's secrets were safe. The shameless, outrageous, covert military support which the United States - and Britain - gave to Saddam for more than a decade remains the one terrible story which our presidents and prime ministers do not want the world to remember. And now Saddam, who knew the full extent of that Western support - given to him while he was perpetrating some of the worst atrocities since the Second World War - is dead.
Um chato, um inconveniente, este Fisk...
