I’ve written a piece for Counterpunch on the Kandahar massacre and My Lai. I’ve also been denounced by wingnut central, Frontpage.com. I have high hopes of eventually featuring on Discover the Networks, where Bruce Springsteen sits two spots above Joe Stalin.

the man who shot liberty valance

I have a piece in the latest Meanjin. It begins like this:


In June 2011, a 59-year old American salvage diver named Bill Warren announced his plans to sail his 60-metre boat to the Arabian Sea. There, he said, he would use side-scan sonar, the method that located the Titanic, to recover the body of Osama bin Laden from the ocean floor. He hoped to photograph and video the corpse, as well as conduct DNA tests.


You can read the rest at the Meanjin site.
