    • 2007 December 13, “Prins Claus en de NCO”, in Andere Tijden: VPRO:
      De Telegraaf begon een tegenoffensief: journalist Hans Knoop werd naar Angola gestuurd om aan te tonen dat de beweringen van het Angola Comité niet klopten. Knoop schreef er een serie van vijf artikelen over. De krantenkoppen in dikke chocoladeletters logen er niet om: De Waarheid Over Angola, Angola-comité Wil De Waarheid Niet Weten en Juist Koffieactie Draait Klok Terug.
