Pilger goes even more bonkers

I no longer bother with the New Statesman, so I missed this bizarre piece by John Pilger (yes, I know, that's something of a tautology):

Four years ago, I travelled the length of Iraq, from the hills where St Matthew is buried in the Kurdish north to the heartland of Mesopotamia, and Baghdad, and the Shia south. I have seldom felt as safe in any country.

Ah, the smack of firm discipline eh, John! That Saddam knew how to run a tight ship.

I waited for the sentence telling us that he made the trains run on time, too.
