Hi The Mirror in recent months has begun to rediscover its early roots of championing social justice causes. It has been giving John Pilger enormous coverage, including a front page and several double page spreads during war against the Afghanistan people, it also had a profoundly anti-war stance during the conflict for which it was rebuked by politicians and the rival papers alike. However much of this is to do with finding a sales niche is besides the point, it should be encouraged & welcomed.

My father was visiting his osteopath today, and after waiting for ten minutes his eye was drawn to today's Mirror. I introduce this news to you in this way to make clear that this is not normally a paper that I would read! The contents of today's Mirror must be considered a huge victory for the peace movement - this paper has a huge readership, and I think I express a common view when I say that it wouldn't be the first place I would expect to see journalism of profound integrity. Though I take all that back now! John Pilger is behind the article: the horrific facts on Iraq known so well to all of us but painfully inadequately reported generally are spelt out in detail (Pg's 6 / 7) I express my own personal gratitude to him, and we should all see this as progress (which has been hard to come by recently) I recommend everyone see if they can get a copy. It's also on www.mirror.co.uk Peace to you all Mark Mark Sinjakli email: scouseanthmark@yahoo.co.uk --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
