More from "Michael White" on the UN's "foolish" "experts" Archived Message

Seems Guardian's strange anti-humanitarian cult's Michael White and James "I'm sick of UN rapporteurs" Ball sing from the same sick sheet when it comes to qualified experts speaking out on wrongs .... Previous Message @ Michael White: "We certainly want the UN to restore its battered credibility but that piece of hyperbolic journalism isn’t the way to do it. UN “experts" are often foolish." in reply Jonathan Cook: "This gets to the heart of it. Guardian hacks, like this former one, want the real guardians - of international law - either mute or obedient, just as they are. To speak up as UN torture expert Nils Melzer does on Assange's abuse is to embarrass these enforcers of the status quo".

Previous Message Michael White, commenting on Melzer's article "demasking the Torture of Assange": @michaelwhite -- Thanks for that, a bizarre piece in both robe and content from a man with serious academic credentials https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nils_Melzer … White quotes Melzer's long list of seriously impressive credentials but still goes on to smear him with quote marks as an "expert". Sum total of White's own expertise amounts to this > WIKI on M. White's credentials: "[White] was educated at Bodmin Grammar School and then studied for a BA in History at University College London" So White's Bodmin BA qualifies him to sneer at Melzer's credentials with his carefully-chosen "expert" and "foolish" qualifiers ... all to justify the fact The Guardian - which by its own rose-spectacled standards should be the place where robust discourse among citizens and university-educated experts can find a home - is censoring an expert in one of the world's most high-profile and newsworthy legal cases
