He once taught journalism at a university I attended. He always bragged how he questioned everything ever since he was a small kid and how asking questions is important for a journalist. Well, it seems he didn't ask ANY questions when reporting for the Inquirer. The most obvious one he missed is, "Who are the PKK." Thanks for finding that article!
