Scott Taylor is a Canadian journalist who specializes in military and war reporting. His coverage has included wars in Cambodia, Africa, the Balkans, and most recently Iraq. Taylor is a former private in the Canadian Forces, and is now the editor and publisher of "Esprit de Corps", [ [http://www.espritdecorps.ca/ Esprit de Corps] ] a military magazine.
Taylor has aroused a certain amount of controversy; described as "fiercely opinionated", his articles have attracted criticism for their often strongly polemical slant. [ [http://www.freedominion.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=307987 View topic - Scott Taylor taken by Mujahdeen :: Free Dominion - Principled Conservative - Party and Canadian Politics - Canada Blogs ] ] He has been critical of the Canadian Forces and the Department of National Defence, and has also written in opposition to Western involvement in the Kosovo War and Iraq War. Taylor is a regular op-ed contributor to the "Halifax Herald" newspaper.
In 2004, Taylor and a Turkish colleague were kidnapped in Iraq by Ansar al-Islam, a radical Islamist group and held for five days. [" [http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2004/09/13/taylor_iraq040913.html Kidnapped Canadian journalist freed in Iraq] ", CBC News, September 13, 2004]
Taylor has written several books, including"Spinning on the Axis of Evil: America's War Against Iraq", in which he suggests, contrary to claims by the George W. Bush administration, that the majority of the Iraqi population are strongly opposed to the US being there, and "Inat: Images of Serbia and the Kosovo Conflict", in which he argues that NATO involvement in that conflict was unnecessary and that western media coverage of the conflict was biased against the Serbs.
