    I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

    Our government wastes its money telling Arab youth how wonderful we are.

    Fortunately this story has a happy ending:

    Rani al-Hajjar, an Atlanta student and co-ordinator for Palestinian Media Watch, said: "I think if it's coming from a cultural superiority complex, saying that we are infallible and saying that our policies are best, then I think it is liable to fail."

    Of course, this is The Independent -- and the reporter's name is BUNCOMBE.

    Another happy ending: BUNCOMBE misidentifies the group: It's Palestine Media Watch (the other group is pro-Israeli), and its backers include such non-partisan neutral observers as Noam Chomsky.

    If only I could find that picture of Robert Fisk with the bandages....
