Robert Fisk, foreign correspondent for the London Independent, received an exuberant welcome when he came to the Bay Area in December 2006. He spoke on civil war in Iraq and Lebanon and the ongoing denial of the genocide of one and a half million Armenians by the Ottoman Turks in 1915.

Even though he consistently criticizes the New York Times they described him as "probably the most famous foreign correspondent in Britain" He has over thirty years of experience in international reporting. His best-selling books, based on his field notes and recordings, offer strong criticisms of Middle Eastern governments as well as British and United States government foreign policy. He spoke on December 14, 2006, in Oakland, CA.

Relevant to today, Fisk briefly covers the assault of Lebanon by Israel in 2006.
