FLASHPOINTS: Robert Fisk talks about the 8 soldiers killed and the huge civilian toll

by Dennis Bernstein, flashpoints.net
One thing that Robert Fisk stressed is that there is very little concern in the US (both the general public and media) regarding the enormous death toll of Iraqi civilians especially at the hands of nervous US troops. This is probably due to the vicious stereotypes against Arabs most people in this country have internalized including the soldiers in Iraq.
The interview with Robert Fisk begins 6 minutes into the program:
