What's your objection to the Independent? (Mine would be having much beyond the subscription wall, though I don't read what's not so often either to tell if it changed over the past year or three.)

It's hard for me to know what's objectionable (or not) about the Independent, since I've barely been able to access their website for days and days now.  I don't know what the problem is, but I've just about given up trying.

I can access it without problems. Maybe the NSA?...

Hmmmmm.  Who knows.  It's working OK now, but when I've tried to get to it when posting to the Salon for the last week, most of the time the pages won't load....

Good point.

I stopped going there back in Iraq run-up days because they had Fisk behind a firewall. Seemed a pity the only Engligh language journalist who would right twice weekly how full of shit the Americans were and he was behind the firewall.

I went back there today, and now he isn't. Wonder when that happened. Tho' I also seem to recall stormy having mixed feelings about the man and his integrity...
