  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Marian Wilkinson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Marian Wilkinson is another appalling example of what passes for a journalist in these ideologically benighted times.
Wilkinson correctly reports that Dr Allawi blamed "the media for its negative coverage of Iraq." What she neglected to point out is that Gen. Abizaid is in full agreement with Dr Allawi.
Marian Wilkinson and her supporters can argue that my reference is not fair because General Abizaid made his statements after Wilkinson sent in her copy.

 Marian Wilkinson - Edwards-Cheney debate
Marian Wilkinson omitted two vital points from her story (tale): Firstly, Bremer also said: "I believe that we currently have sufficient troop levels in Iraq…" He made it perfectly clear that his recent references to troop levels only applied to the situation in May 2003.
Even worse for wilkinson and her fellow leftwing hacks, Bremer recently criticised the "press and critics of the war" for having "seized on [his] remarks in an effort to undermine President Bush's Iraq policy".
Outrageous as Wilkinson was on defending Edwards' terrorist accusations on Iraq and terrorism, she was even worse when it came to Edwards' sleazy and shameless assault on Halliburton.

 Asia Times - Asia's most trusted news source
In writing Dark Victory, the authors, two Australian journalists, David Marr and Marian Wilkinson, do not claim to retrace the steps that brought the refugees from their distant and war-torn homeland, Afghanistan, to an almost certain watery grave in the Java Sea had the Tampa not come to their rescue.
According to its current international definition, a refugee is a person who had to flee his or her country due to a well-founded fear of persecution for political or ethnic reasons.
While Marr and Wilkinson cannot be faulted for having skimped on their research, and some of their chapters are detailed to the point of microscopy, theirs would have been a far more credible work had there not been even a distant inkling that they might not have been totally partial.

Two of Australia’s leading journalists, David Marr and Marian Wilkinson have won the 2003 Human Rights Award for Arts Non-Fiction for their compelling book Dark Victory.
This year’s winner drew attention to the political motivations – and the human cost – of the Tampa crisis and the ‘children overboard’ affair, which generated so much coverage in the lead-up to the last federal election.
With Dark Victory, Marr and Wilkinson sought to dig behind the headlines and ‘worked with tenacity’ to uncover ‘new and impressive research, covering all aspects of the events, by interviewing the people involved and gaining access to FOI documents’.

 writ small: Dark Victory by David Marr & Marian Wilkinson
I have been waiting a long time to read Dark Victory, an account by two Australian journalists, David Marr and Marian Wilkinson, of the events leading up to the re-election of Australia’s prime minister, John Howard, in 2001.
It brings to that sad and sorry period what John Howard sought to deny – the human element, both of the people whose lives were at stake on the boats seeking asylum, but also of the politicians and bureaucrats whose more shady actions only came to light when the drama was over.
Marr and Wilkinson provided the events of those ten harried weeks with a context and meaning that points to the undeniable importance of this kind of book.

 Politics and Culture
At a time when governments are blaming 'faulty intelligence' for their own mischief, David Marr and Marian Wilkinson's Dark Victory which deals with one group of 'boat people' seeking asylum in Australia is worth a close read.
More than an election post-mortem; more than a scandal-tinged examination of the Tampa episode, the children overboard affair, and the 'Pacific Solution', Dark Victory exposes an election masterplan by the Prime Minster, John Howard, in which the media, the judiciary, the military, asylum seekers, the federal Opposition and, finally, the Australian electorate, were duped.
This is partly due to Marr and Wilkinson's humanisation of 'illegals' and 'queue-jumpers'; the people that the Coalition government successfully de-humanised.
