U.S. immigration officials refused Tuesday to allow Robert Fisk,
longtime Middle East correspondent for the London newspaper, The
Independent, to board a plane from Toronto to Denver. Fisk was on his
way to Santa Fe for a sold-out appearance in the Lannan Foundation's
readings-and-conversations series Wednesday night. According to
Christie Mazuera Davis, a Lannan program officer, Fisk was told that
his papers were not in order. Davis made last-minute arrangements
Wednesday for Amy Goodman, host of Pacifica Radio's daily news show,
Democracy Now!, to interview Fisk via satellite from a television
station in Toronto. He appeared on a large screen onstage at the Lensic
Performing Arts Center. The controversial British journalist, who is
based in Beirut, filed many eyewitness reports on the U.S. invasion of
Iraq and criticized Western reporters for "hotel journalism ," a phrase
he coined to describe correspondents who covered the war from heavily
fortified hotel suites and offices.
