	Nick Cohen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nick Cohen is a British journalist, author and political commentator.
		Cohen is known for the promotion of a democratic, left-wing secular humanism, and is regarded by supporters as belonging to the intellectual tradition of radical writers such as George Orwell and Albert Camus.
		Critics of Cohen's position on Iraq have pointed to his support of the Iraqi National Congress in the run-up to war, and his praise for its leader Ahmed Chalabi, the alleged conduit for much of the faulty pre-war intelligence.

	Media Alert - Nick Cohen of the Observer on Iraq, Chomsky and Pilger
		Cohen mocks the idea that the children who have died as a result of sanctions would otherwise "have had happy, healthy lives in a prison state".
		Cohen knows he is on safe ground in casting pre-Gulf War Iraq as a hellish gulag - the regime has been consistently damned by politicians and the media for exacerbating and exploiting the suffering of its own children for propaganda purposes.
		Ask Cohen why he stated that Noam Chomsky and John Pilger have "claimed" that the excess deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children are the result of sanctions.

	LENIN'S TOMB: Nick Cohen's brains have turned to slush, II
		If your favourite stop at the funfair as a child was hurling wet sponges at a clown in stockades, Nick Cohen's column this morning is for you.
		Nick Cohen cannot tell the difference between the state telling you what must never happen in your bed, and the state regulating industry.
		The rest of the article consists of the usual accusations of crimes and complicities on the Left, the ritual denunciation of "postmodernism", and the compulsive and caricaturistic understanding of "Islamism" as a "fascistic cult of murder and self-murder".

	Media Alert Update - All the Bloody Children - The Observer's Nick Cohen and Observer Editor Roger Alton Respond on Iraq
		Recall that Cohen is a highly-paid professional journalist, whose job it is to report accurately - he is in the business of communicating and promoting debate.
		He told us that he wrote to Alton and Cohen because he is all too familiar with the horror of war, with what it means for innocent civilians and soldiers.
		Cohen and Alton's views on Iraq are clear enough.

		As he writes in his introduction: "The same themes kept being heard, the same vices were displayed, only the suits were different." Cohen's caustic tone indicates that he feels personally betrayed that Blair's government hasn't adhered to the unionist politics that Cohen obviously favors.
		Cohen, a columnist for the Observer in London, is a spirited essayist, and his pieces on the foibles and hypocrisies of Tony Blair's Labour government are brimming with wit and insight.
		Nick Cohen has the keenest and most cynical of insights.

		First, the "claim" that sanctions have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of children is not Chomsky's or Pilger's; it is the claim of aid agencies, the United Nations Children's Fund, and of senior UN diplomats Denis Halliday and Hans von Sponeck (unmentioned by Cohen in the Observer since September 1998), who have described sanctions as "genocidal".
		Iraq was (and is) certainly governed by a brutal dictatorship - as are most countries in the Middle East - but this is not quite the hellish "prison state" conjured by Cohen's words.
		In 1998, Cohen's fellow Observer journalist, John Sweeney, quoted the strategy for removing Saddam favoured by Dr. Ahmad Chalabai, president of the executive council of the Iraqi National Congress:

	The Leiter Reports: Editorials, News, Updates: Pure Politics: Bashing the Anti-War Left...in the Guardian? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Which returns us to the dishonest Nick Cohen, a putatively left-wing journalist who, like Christopher Hitchens, has apparently discovered that there's more fame and profit in sucking up to power by heaping contempt on those who dissent.
		Cohen takes issue with the anti-war Left on the grounds that, previously, "the Left could be relied upon to fight fascism," but by failing to support the US/British invasion of Iraq, the Left, as seen through Nick Cohen's looking-glass, had now betrayed its "commitment to the Enlightenment ideal of universal freedom."
		Most of Cohen's journalism lately has been rather feeble anti-anti-war tirades - I suspect he senses a big lurch rightwards and is protecting his "personal brand".

		Also in this week's New Statesman, see a superb piece by Nick Cohen on the curious case of CND and the Iranian nuclear programme:
		Anyone who now believes CND is as much against proliferation as for unilateral disarmament would have been surprised by this autumn's annual conference.
		Nick quotes Kate Hudson of CND (author of a new book, which I shall comment on shortly, giving a highly selective history of the organisation) expressing her opposition to proliferation; but she is ominously reserved in doing so.

		While I remain resolutly against this war, I agree completely with Cohen: an anti-war movement that fails to come up with a coherent message on what does need to be done about the tyranny of Saddam has only done half of the job.

		Among the many reasons why a candidate from the Left can’t win the Labour leadership election, let alone a general election, is that the Left can’t talk in a way that convinces outsiders that it is honest.
		A paradox of radicalism is that true radicals are linguistic conservatives because they have an urgent and overriding need to be understood.

	Nick Cohen on Antisemitism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Politicians I’d admired astonished me: Tam Dalyell explained British foreign policy as a Jewish conspiracy; Ken Livingstone embraced a Muslim cleric who favoured the blowing up of Israeli women and children, along with wife-beating and the murder of homosexuals and apostates.
		The moment when bewilderment settled into a steady scorn, however, was when the Guardian ran a web debate entitled: “David Aaronovitch and Nick Cohen are enough to make a good man anti-Semitic”;.
		I resolved then to complete two tasks: to apologise to Ms Leslie, which was a matter of minutes; and to work out if there was now a left-wing anti-Semitism, which took a little longer.
