Cockburn functions as an apologist for the Soviet Union and other left-fascist regimes. Speaking of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, he said the Afghans "deserved to be raped." He called human rights campaigner Anatoly Scharansky a CIA agent, and has been involved in attempts to smear Cuban human rights activists. Hardly what I'd call a reliable source.
