'ex-jihadi sympathiser Hassan Butt'

but Martin, Butthead has confessed to making it all up.

others had smelled a rat earlier

Butt's book would have been as genuine as the receipts forged by your neo-con/RCP mates at the Policy Exchange.

ps I keep asking you about Dean Godson's libel writ against Newsnight, but you never reply. Was it lost in the post?

They made the libel threat on 13/12/2007 - that's six months ago.

pps

What are you doing giving interviews to a racist website?

Now I know I shouldn't feed the troll, but how can someone simultaneously be of the Revolutionary Communist Party and a neoconservative (or neoliberal)?

I'm pretty sure about the only thing Milton Friedman and Stalin would have agreed on was the wanton use of torture, murder, kidnapping and disappearance to silence those who get in the way of one's plans.

If owenblacker had bothered to click on the links provided, he would have found that the RCPers of Spiked (eg Munira Mirza ) had joined Martin's neo-comrades at the Policy Exchange in forming Boris Johnson's administration.

Although I disagreed utterly with Milton Friedman's economic theories, he never supported torture, murder etc. What's your evidence?

There are worse things to be other than a troll - an idiot for one.

Sorry, I tend to have better things to do than click every link on every comment by every person who looks like a troll.

Perhaps redharry could do with familiarising himself with the history of South and Central America throughout the 1980s. Naomi Klein's latest book would probably be a good grounding — a little histrionic and oversimplified, as Ms Klein's work can tend to be, imho, but a good start on why Milton Friedman caused immense suffering and death across the globe with his ridiculous economic theories.
