POIII ICAL ANALYSIS GREG PALAST Armed Madhouse (Allen Lane) 0000

When Greg Palast gives his verdict on topical affairs, the authorities tend to stand up and take note. They might not agree with anything the guy ever says, but his voice will not be silenced. Unlike US news legend Dan Rather who has recently been pensioned off (or in Palast's world, ‘sent to the electronic glue factory’) for reporting the truth. In Rather‘s case, he was gently nudged to the sidelines for his revelations about the machinations which prevented George Bush serving in the military. Except, this was hardly a revelation: Palast had run the story a year earlier. And that is the glory of old Greg. The story which he has the audacity to broadcast or print will almost certainly be dismissed by the under-fire politicians as conjecture or gossip, only for it to become received opinion in the near future.

So, back in 1998 when Blair called Palast ‘a liar' when he uncovered the cash-for-access deals in the New Labour cabinet, the PM’s protestations indicated a man blushing with embarrassment. When Private Eye dubs him ‘the most evil man in the world’ you can tell that they are just miffed that their thunder has been nicked. In Armed Madhouse, the Bush administration is stuck firmly in the centre of a target only for Palast to hit the bullseye time and time again. And while many of his admirers (Monbiot, Chomsky) are ploughing similar ground, none of them do it with the same coruscating wit and groanworthy punnery: “Who’s Afraid of Osama Wolf' anyone?
