From a beirut based foreign correspondent
by

Lisa, i really think your behaviour throughout this whole ordeal has been very selfish. Lebanon is not your a liberal democracy. To get your fifteen minutes of fame, you seriously endangered your talent. You obviously dont understand what kind of society this is. It is a paranoid society. It is unreasonable. The people you interviewed could have faced serious consequences. Ok, it looks like they may have escaped unscathed, but did you seriously think through how you were just using and playing with these people's safety? Thats journalism 101. And you have also caused alot of problems for legitimate professional reporters who report from Lebanon (and who actually try and make an effort to understand the situation.) It's already hard enough trying to operate here with the paranoia. But now, do you realise what we will go through when we pass through Beirut airport now, thanks to your little visit? It shouldn’t be this way but it is. This is the reality. This is Lebanon. Thanks alot. You've launched your ‘journalism’ career through seriously endangering your interview talent and have now also seriously endangered the working environment for countless foreign correspondents who work tirelessly in this country to try and bring an accurate and fair picture to the world.
