I find Fisk's writing tedious and his comments about Americans lying juvenile. Yet even the two articles juxtaposed does not prove Fisk was lying; the New York Times article was posted on 4/4 -- Fisk's article could have been (and probably was) written days earlier.
You have failed to read the article -- he tells us when he wrote it. Read his article, and fit the timeline of the events he describes, against the timeline of events the other article describes. The time at which he claims to have visited the airport in his account was an hour or two before the attack began in the mainstream account. If he was merely telling us the US had not taken, or was not attacking, the airport, that would be no problem, but his claim was that the US was nowhere near the airport, the airport was in no imminent danger of falling, or even of being attacked, that in the unlikely event that the US had reached the outskirts, they had fled or been driven back. He claimed to have confirmed Baghdad Bob's account. --digsig James A.
