He talked of being escorted by two "Syrian friends" into an area control by Syrians and Russians.
I'm pretty sure anyone around that lot is going to say "Yes, there was a gas attack".
And yet, with infinite irony, he labels his piece "The Search for Truth....".
And yet here's the supposed real truth:
The Russians and Syrians know the shelf life of chemical weapons. They will know exactly how long they take to break down after use.At the same time, inspectors from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) are currently blocked from coming here to the site of the alleged gas attack themselves, ostensibly because they lacked the correct UN permits.
Hence the entirely predictable delays in allowing the OPCW in.
Of course Fisk claims it's because they did not have the right "UN Permits" when a little bit of delving would probably find that they were waiting for their security team to get clearance to enter Douma.
"Neutral reporting" my arse.
