Perle

[Jeet Heer]

Perle's ties to Hollinger came out in an article in the New York Sun, which
attacked Seymour Hersh and stated that Perle was planning on launching a
lawsuit in London. At the end of the article, whose author only interviewed
people friendly  to Perle, it mentioned that, by the way, Perle sits on the
board that owns this newspaper. What a coincidence! Kissenger also sits on
the board of Hollinger. When I was working at the National Post and it was
owned by Conrad Black, I noticed how reluctant people were to print anything
remotely critical of Kissenger. Although to be fair, after Black sold the
paper, they did run a favourable movie review I ran of a documentary
focusing on Kissenger's war crimes. Jeet
