Quite ironic that we are being scaremongered with Islamic fundamentalism when up to a decade ago Gaddafi was one of the terrorist-supporting regimes. Up to 2001 Israeli citizens were still banned from going to Libya.

Prosit, Daphne. I hope all so-called Maltese journalists know how to at least read your article and learn from the many points you have given them.

Two ways of looking at it, I guess: (i) doing other people’s work, or (ii) recognising that they will never do a proper job and therefore stepping in.

My comment was not meant to be confrontational; I simply perceived your article as having a bit of an “armchair critic” slant to it.

[Daphne – That’s because you assume I somehow have more access to press conferences of this sort than you do. But I don’t. And even if I did, then I have no more reason or incentive to go than you do. There’s one distinction though: mine can never be the criticism of an armchair critic, because I actually know what I’m talking about.]
