My guess is, al jazeera may have reported on the facts (gasp, shock) and ticked off these criminals. It's a stretch, I know. A kind of reverse Arnett / Rivera journalistic slip. In this hypothetical, a lurch towards the truth, instead of more propaganda.

I think the reality is that even Al Jeezra would find it hard not to take images of M1A1's sitting on the outskirts of Baghdad, and then the Iraqi propaganda machine's only remaining tool would be used against them. Better to get Al Jeezra out before they can broadcast images of the coming Iraqi defeat to the locals.
