Robert Fisk on the WikiLeaks: "Well I think there are several very important elements to this story.
First of all, the individual items like, you know, there are witnesses, American witnesses to torture, they didn't do anything, that the Iraqis - security authorities were torturing Iraqis, that American air strikes were killing many civilians.
We knew about this, but it was always denied by the Americans. I was doing stories years ago about Iraqis torturing Iraqis and the stories were coming from American officers who were leaking them to me.
But of course every time I wrote them in the paper, the Americans denied that it was true. I went to the scenes of US air strikes. They were obviously limbs, hands, arms of children, babies, women, civilians, as well sometimes as armed men, and we wrote about this.
What the WikiLeaks does is it proves beyond any doubt that what we reported was correct and that what we were told by the American authorities was mendacious, it was a lie.
Just remember, the Americans now are saying, "Shame upon WikiLeaks. It's endangering lives in Iraq." I mean, invading Iraq endangered an awful lot of lives, didn't it?
But, you know, if these leaks, if these 400,000 documents had confirmed that the Americans did stop torture, that they didn't kill civilians and air strikes, you know, US generals would be handing this stuff out free of charge to journalists on the front steps of the Pentagon."

"My eyes have seen the glory and my heart has felt the pain,
While Glazer's at Old Trafford I will never go again.
We've taken all the passion and we're singing at Gigg Lane,
As the reds go marching ON ON ON!
Glory glory FC United...etc
I am a Busby boy and that is all I'll ever be,
Until some greedy bastard took my club away from me,
We've taken all the passion and we're following FC,
As the reds go marching ON ON ON!"
