Sir, - With all due respects to Mary Ryan (April 8th), I do believe that she is the one who has gone over the top in this instance. While not wishing to be an apologist for Mr Myers, I concur with his sentiments on Pilgerism.
Whenever I have attempted in this newspaper to highlight the genocide being practiced by the fundamentalist Islamic regime in Khartoum on the African peoples living in the Southern part of that country, I have invariably been sent, anonymously, by an apologist for that regime an article by the self-same Pilger justifying such actions in terms of standing up to the Anglo-American imperium. I hope this practice will now cease with the publication of this letter. - Yours, etc.,
Padraig O Murchu, Woodlands, Maynooth, Co Kildare.
