Thanks for clarifying, Owen. I happen to have read that article, but did not have opportunity to chase down the misquote. I must agree that, given your original text Pilger’s treatment was misstatement of your position. I found it jarring. It unjustly clouded my opinion of you in such a way that it may have given less credence to your future writing.

You have lifted that cloud.

I’d say that Pilger owes you a face to face meeting over beer, and a quick public apology.
