Luckham, Al Jazeera is one of the places I visit regularly, (even though many of their articles come straight from the BBC), in an attempt to see the world from many different angles. Hate to get lop-sided. Anyway, are you suggesting that the interview might be skewed for some reason because it's Al Jazeera? Their magazine is very anti-logic and stupidly emotional, but their international web daily is quite well balanced, I feel, and they do come up with some genuine investigative reporting every so often.

As for Mugabe, the man we all love to hate... I have spent so much time on imagining different ways of wiping the sweaty smile off his face, but it's like throwing stones at a reflection in the pond. He succeeds admirably in getting up our noses, and this must be one of the reasons why his supporters still love him.

So, I concentrated on an interview with Morgan, and realized again that I have been supporting him purely because he's against Mugabe, and not because I know what he would really be able to accomplish in Zimbabwe.
