Self Hating Australians

Though he now lives in England, John Pilger is one. Oh, he also hates Americans and Britts--and freely admits it:

[QUESTION]: Can you approve in that context the killing of American, British or Australian troops who are in the occupying forces?

JOHN PILGER: Well yes, they're legitimate targets. They're illegally occupying a country.

Why are the people who benefit most from free speech--journalists such as Pilger--so eager to support dictatorships? (Via Instapundit.)
