Um, what's the date on this and where did you get it?

It's interesting he didn't mention Gordon Brown, Blair's rival, and his request to the U.S. that it double its foreign aid to $50 billion. He said there needs to be a new relationship between the rich and poor countries, which of course means the old relationship isn't working, something many mainstream folks will now admit. Inconvenient facts for Mr. Pilger.

I'm surprised he didn't note the scandal concerning Tanzania, too.
