They have the gall to call themselves:

"Al Jazeera- objective and balanced global news coverage and analysis".

Can't we have an "errant" missile just "accidentally" hit them?

We should take it down. Someone on Fox today said it was at least partly funded by Saddam Hussein. (As if that doesn't look obvious enough given their content.)

I'm sure the entire world would soon tire of hearing "it's all the Jews fault" or "...Sharon and his puppet Bush".

Actually, I think the network is a good thing. It is uncensored, and I don't think under anyone's particular control. A diversity of opinion is a good thing. Debate is a good thing. But we shall see, now that it has a site in English. It will be interesting to see if the English site has the same stuff as the Arabic site. A divergence would cause the network to lose credibility.

In Afghanistan, a bomb "accidentally" landed in the Al Jazeera station in Kabul. I don't think it was an accident, though.

Al Jazeera is the de facto propaganda machine for Bin Laden and the Islamist movement. I hope our government is monitoring its bank accounts for transfers of funds from Al Qaeda et al.

Even though Qatar is an ally, I would still bomb al Jazeera.

I'm sure Dan Rather would love to contribute to the site. He could include a link to his own website.

(As if Al-Jazeeria didn't have Dan's site already bookmarked.)

EuroNews which i receive on Satellite TV is far more anti-American and anti-US than any station airing our of the middle east. We're just so perplexed by propaganda and inability to reason that we're stunned by even the smallest event coming from the Middle East while giving the Europeans a free ride on everything.

If you honestly think the Al-Jazera is anti-Israel propaganda i suggest watching European Media for a day or two.
