KILLERS WITH CAMERAS - al-Jazeera

June 21, 2004 -- IMAGINE if, on D-Day, the Nazis had been al lowed to place camera teams on Omaha Beach — with our suffering soldiers forbidden to interfere. What if, on top of that, the Germans had invented American atrocities against French civilians — and our own officials defended their right to do so in the name of press freedom? That's the situation with al-Jazeera in Iraq.

Staffed by embittered exiles and pan-Arabist ideologues — the last Nasserites — al-Jazeera is so consumed by hatred of America and the West that the network would rather see Iraq collapse into a bloodbath than permit the emergence of a democracy sponsored by Washington.

Despite his slaughter of a million-and-a-half Muslims in wars and campaigns of repression, al-Jazeera cheered for Saddam during Operation Iraqi Freedom, inventing Iraqi victories. Its staff reacted with horror to the fall of Baghdad — and suppressed film clips of celebrating Arabs.

Since then, al-Jazeera has glamorized Islamic terrorists (who, were they ever to come to power, would close al-Jazeera and butcher its staff) while portraying the Baathist campaign of murder and sabotage as a noble freedom struggle.

Al-Jazeera is so bigoted and morally debased that its reporters and producers delight in Coalition casualties, in dead Iraqi doctors and engineers and (above all) in dead Kurds.

Al-Jazeera not only encourages the assassination of American soldiers, but pulls out all the stops to excite anti-U.S. hatred throughout the Arabic-speaking world.

Why is it still on the air ?

Not only that, but some American newspapers, including the Atlanta Journal Constitution, have been picking up columnists and stories from them.

AJC Editor Cynthia Tucker should catch hell from her journalistic colleagues for running the enemy columnists, but it seems to not be on anyone's radar screen. (I wrote her nastily, but then she's beginning to know me).

Having mosques here in the US is kind of like Nazis having meetings here in 1943!!

There were pro-Nazi groups in America prior to 1941. I don't know how they were handled after war was declared.

I don’t think the Kennedy’s were effected that badly.

Al Jazeera is only PART of the problem: The Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France Presse,and Unite Press International ALL make use of anti-American "native" news crews-because their own reporters are afraid to leave their hotels.

Those "bold investigative reports" are done by TELEPHONE !

"Having mosques here in the US is kind of like Nazis having meetings here in 1943!!"

Exactly, and that is why the Fed needs to no longer recognize Islam as an accepted (by the government) religion, revoke its federal tax exempt status, and then go after each mosque (and its respective bank account) under RICO and/or anti-terrorist laws. Dry up every penny those ba$tards raise in America - and send the islamofacists in each mosque off to prison.
