Robert Fisk is neither an anti-Semite nor is he anti-American, he just makes stuff up! In the name of journalistic integrity, I suggest that Gary Kamiya read Fisk's "Pity the Nation" carefully. For anyone who knows anything about the Middle East and does not have an ideological ax to grind, it should be fairly easy to pick up the fabrications.
As a frequent traveler to the Middle East, I would like to thank Allah for the new terminal at Ankara's Esenboga Airport. It pales in comparison to Bangkok's new digs, but it is a welcome improvement over the dumpiest terminal of all time. I am also looking forward to the replacement for Cairo's Terminal 1. No one cares, though, since no American carriers fly to these places, which seems strange given the geopolitical importance of both Turkey and Egypt.
The pilots of the 707 landing in LA during the movie "Earthquake" manage to takeoff again. I believe you pilots call this a "touch and go," correct?
Thanks for the great column.
