Jessie, might I suggest that if you are going to quote other predjudiced people to try to glean support for your bigotry, then at least you selct some at least prepared to tell the truth...

With regard to Tim Priest:


"He was seeking legal advice after an article in the Herald yesterday revealed a speech on Lebanese organised crime was fabricated.

The speech was later published by the journal Quadrant, whose editor, Padraic McGuinness, said last night he would publish a clarifying note on the piece. "We're not terribly happy about it," said Mr McGuinness, who published the article, The Rise of Middle Eastern Crime in Australia, in 2003.

"It's taken for granted that Priest seemed to be in good faith. He spoke at a dinner, and I published the text of what he had to say. He should not have claimed that an incident which didn't occur, did.

"We don't take responsibility for the truth of everything they [contributors] write, we just aren't very enthusiastic about them thereafter."

Asked if he would publish further articles by Mr Priest, Mr McGuinness said: "I'll look at it very carefully and question it. People make mistakes. In his case it's stupid; it's worse than that if everything that's been reported is true. [If] he's silly enough to falsify situations, well, he's a fool."
