    Shame.
    Hope he's doing okay.
    Whatever you think of him he's only one writer.
    There's something a bit nauseating about all the people rushing in to stick the boot in now this has emerged.

    On the other hand, I don't know why I feel any sympathy for Hari because I think what he did is one of the worst things anyone can do, esp. the Iraq stuff (I don't mean support the war, that's his look-out, I mean inventing all that shit about Iraqis begging us to get rid of Sadaam and all the rest).

    I do feel sorry for him, though.
    Strange.

    People that had forgotten to point out he was a liar?

    People enjoying revenge and/or just seeing someone fall.
    But pretending to be doing so out of moral concern.
    Nauseating.

    I think that's unfair BK.
    I've made my point - he's a liar, on a huge scale.
    This should have been what he was brought up on.

    I didn't mean you.
    You've been saying as much about Johann Hari for as long as I've been reading this site and no doubt before.
    And it's all true, obviously.

    I don't know...
