Husseini has written about U.S. media coverage of the Arab-Israeli conflict[1][2]and of religion.[3] [4] In 1994, he suggested that General Electric's repeated felony convictions should make the corporation ineligible to hold broadcast licenses.[5]
Husseini wrote the article "Follow the Policy: Why So Long for Iraq to Comply?" shortly before the invasion of Iraq.[6] The piece purported to explain why Iraq hadn't complied with the United Nations' disarmament demands. It ignored the possibility that Iraq had actually complied. This was the case even though Husseini in other instances had questioned the U.S. government claim that Iraq had not complied.
