The "Bulworth" movie -- with Warren Beatty playing a senator who begins to speak disturbing truths in the form of rap lyrics -- caused quite a stir when it came out five years ago. At the time, I wondered aloud in a column about what might happen if leading journalists followed that fictional example.

"The largest power blackout in US history hit 50 million people in the northeast of the United States and southern Canada, from New York City to Cleveland, Detroit and Toronto. Whole states and cities were shut down and paralyzed."

"Americans, Israelis and Palestinians before them have talked, and are still talking, about the necessity to take procedural steps that would implement reforms in the fields of administration, performance and transparency in Palestinian National Authority institutions. Such steps would constitute a prelude to building healthy, sound and reliable State institutions."

"Sometimes a single sentence is enough to reveal a person's mental world and intellectual profundity. Such a sentence was uttered by Shaul Mofaz, the Minister of Defense, some days ago during a visit to the Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip."

"One of the arguments given for the occupation of Palestine by the European Jews and supported by Christians is that God promised Abraham that his progeny would be given Palestine; therefore, Jews are the only descendants of Abraham and inheritors of the land. This promise is in the Jewish Tanakh (Christian Old Testament) and it is, therefore, incumbent upon the Christians to help the Jews in attaining the goal of the Jews."

"The buzz cannot be better. The words all come outright. Everyone of any
significance is calling for cooperation not confrontation and development
not destructive war between India and Pakistan. The chant is that lessons
have been learnt."

"The Baltimore Sun, a daily newspaper, is taken to task for its Zionist slanted
coverage of the plight of the Palestinians, suffering under the Israeli Occupation."

"A fabulous nation on the world Atlas, the people of Pakistan celebrate the 56th daylight of their freedom from the alien domination today?Thursday, August the 14th, of-course with a renewed pledge to take the fascinating and sanctified soils of Pakistan to the zeniths of progress n? prosperity with the ambiance of peace?all-over."
