re: #5 Charles

Unless I’m missing something, the Al Jazeera piece you linked is basically an attempt to explain away their obvious use as a propaganda arm of the Qatar royal family — which was revealed by the Wikileaks cables. Why would you take the word of the propaganda arm of a totalitarian government that the US is deliberately killing journalists, and ignore the more important story — that Al Jazeera itself is nothing but a front for Qatar?

You need to click on the Guardian piece which is linked to from that article in which it is shown that the U.S. has already attacked al-Jazeera offices. I can also introduce you to a former CIA Special Operations agent who will tell you the same thing if you’re still not convinced even after confirmed reports of Bush and Blair discussing additional bombings. Please let me know, as it’s obviously something of importance and if for some reason I am making a major journalistic mistake for the first time in my history at this site, then I will need to correct it.
