"The only editorially independent Arab TV station might have to close. Wahey! Now the Arabs will have to believe what we tell them."
I don’t understand why anyone sane would want Al Jazeera to close down. Then again, I don’t understand why anyone purporting to represent the forces of civilisation would deliberately bomb the station’s offices, so maybe I just need to get with the programme.
Viva fascism. Down with journalists who disapprove of government plans. Destroy people who oppose the Iraqi occupation. Is that better?
" Although it is quite wrong to paint the station as simply the mouthpiece of Al Qaeda "
I like that "simply". Although it is quite wrong to paint Harry’s Place as simply the mouthpiece of the Abu Ghraib torturers…
Oh yes he is. Definitely by a long shot!!
