Al-Jazeera's reporters overtly help Al Qaeda, while those of CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and PMSNBC covertly aid Al Qaeda.

I read several articles in the Spanish press on this matter this morning. (I'll post one later.)

One of the interesting things is that Alouni received a phone call from an Atta in Germany shortly before 9/11 - the Spanish believe it was Mohammed Atta, but Alouni says it was his brother, Emir Atta. Curiouser and curiouser.

If you haven't visited the Aljazeera.com site lately, check out the featured cartoons. You can usually judge the orientation of a news source by the content of its editorial cartoons.

One has realistic footage of the WTC towers collapsing in flames, only to be replaced by two giant gasoline pumps labeled "Iraq". The rest show a calm and immovable Arafat in various stages of attempted removal by Sharon and Abbas who are depicted as bumbling buffoons.

Do ya see any shred of 'fair and balanced' ideology here? Nope. Aljazeera may be packaged as an impartial news source but it is anything but.

“IF I TOLD YOU we received the tape by e-mail, then they’d start tapping all of Al-Jazeera’s e-mails tomorrow,” says one top editor.

"Start" tapping email? Ha! You can bet we've been tracing every electron heading into AJ since 9/11.

(opinion)

Why is it that Al-Jazzier is on site and set up to tape before some attacks? They get tipped off.

AJ in Iraq or Afghanistan = Heightened security, be cautious.

What I “believe” happens a lot is that they get tipped off about future enemy operations. They keep this secret and set up to capture it on tape.

The insurgent wants media coverage! Preferably positive media coverage. AJ has its agenda and these stories sell well too. It’s a symbiotic relationship. AJ probably gets hundreds of thousands of viewers for no other reason than they get a lot of the footage of IEDs, air OBL tapes etc.
