Alexander Cockburn is an intellectual on par with Chomsky and is a believer that how it is said is important as what is said. He is an exceptional writer and I read everything he writes at CounterPunch. He has a past with "The Nation" and still contributes to that magazine. I have to believe that long before the Nation announced they would not support anymore pro-Iraq war candidates, Alexander Cockburn was ahead of them.

But all you have to do is read the website occassionally to see that CounterPunch is about giving voices to those that are shut out by the mainstream media. They have news that nobody else reports.

It is an excellent website and I do not know of a better writer anywhere than Alexander Cockburn.
