Author appears to have also built his article on sand. Johann Hari shamefacedly returned Orwell prize won in 2008 and left the Independent.

Quote:
"committed three journalistic crimes. First, he
has pretended that words spoken to other journalists were in fact said to
him. That is plagiarism, pure and simple. Secondly, he makes things up.
There is no doubt in my mind that many of the people he supposedly
encounters - such as the girl in hot pants in Dubai - are figments of his
imagination. Thirdly, he distorts the words of the real people he does
manage to interview."
