FWIW, that article & many more recent ones, are far, far better than what used to be written about Raqs Sharqi in the Western press - & I have scrapbooks full of them to prove it.

Yes...this is actually true :think:

Every time I've ever had inside knowledge of a "news item", the report got it wrong. Usually some petty detail that didn't really matter, but not always.

EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I was going to link you to the WM-T article about me but the pdf version has disappeared. Here's proof it happened though - the article that was astoundingly accurate. (the only "wrong" thing was a mis-hear on their part and not a myth sneaking it's way in!)

Cool picture - any chance of either a larger version or a text transcription? Can't read it and would love to.

As I said, the pdf version is awol.

I did have a look for it on my computer, but I don't think I got around to scanning it yet. I've got a clipping in my filing cabinet somewhere. Poke me in a few weeks if I forget to get a backup to you because that means I still haven't backed it up yet.
