DUBAI (Reuters) - Arabic television Al Jazeera said on Tuesday it will not air a video showing a gunman killing a woman, believed to be British-Iraqi hostage Margaret Hassan.

"We will not air the tape because we respect the audience's feelings," said an Al Jazeera official, whose channel earlier announced it had received a tape of the killing. "We can not be certain that the woman is Margaret Hassan," he added.

And yet they're showing the full tape of the Marine killing the wounded insurgent over and over and over...

[uncleshag]

Al Jazeera has been begging for a MOAB.

Can U say "double standard"? (she's a moooslim).

[ChuckHam]

I find it unbearable to view that website, it is so full of sh**!

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

I guess anything that makes terrorists look like the cold blooded, ruthless butchers they are, just won't make the cut on Al Jazeera. Maybe they can show reruns of the "freedom fighters" cutting off the head of a "dirty Jew" instead.

[Tempest]

They won't do it, because they know the video will turn public opinion against the "insurgents".

[Republican Red]

Flood ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN MSNBC and FOX with calls and emails.

Demand they show the video since they are showing the Marine tape over and over.

"We can not be certain that the woman is Margaret Hassan,"

"But as soon as we are certain, we'll be airing the video 24/7."

[unspun]

How transparent can they get?

[tiamat]

Or possibly she is telling them that they are wrong, she is righteous and that if they do this thing, not only will she be in Paradise right after, they WILL perish.

I hope she spat at them.


They did not air the Italian gentelman's tape either.

"We will not air the tape because it shows the true nature of our bloodthirsty Satanic death-cult, which makes it harder for our Trojan Horses to lull the west to sleep for easier slaughter," said an Al Jazeera official

What a surprise...
