   John Pilger, who has died of pulmonary fibrosis aged 84, was a journalist who   
   never shirked from saying the unsayable. Across half a century, in newspapers   
   and in his documentary films – many for ITV, but later also in the cinema   
   – he became an ever    
   stronger voice for those without a voice, and a thorn in the side of those in   
   authority.   
      
   He was a fervent critic of US and British foreign policy. In 2006, on a panel   
   at Columbia University, New York, to discuss Breaking the Silence: War, Lies   
   and Empire, Pilger asserted that “journalists in the so-called mainstream   
   bear much of the    
   responsibility” for the devastation and lives lost in Iraq, by not   
   challenging and exposing “the lies of Bush and Blair”.
