Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas [ Abu Mazen] ordered Al-jazzera in the PA area be shut down. Charging that the  Arab network station was being "unbalanced" and "inciting" against the Fatah PA government: "Abbas's security forces have been systematically targeting journalists over the past few years. In the past year, at least seven Palestinian journalists and writers were arrested and held without trial in PA detention centers for allegedly criticizing the performance of Abbas and his prime minister, Salaam Fayad." Now when the Abbas Palestinian Authority controlled media engages in the glorification of terrorists and murderers as "heros" [Samir Kuntar], and incitement against Israel, they...

I am tired of Democrats saying they are patriotic and then insulting my commander in chief... I am tired of Democrats who tell me they support me, the soldier on the ground, and then tell me the best plan to win this war is with a “phased redeployment” (liberal-speak for retreat) out of the combat zone to someplace like Okinawa. I am tired of senior officers and commanders who fight this war with more of an eye on the media than on the enemy, who desperately needs killing. I am tired of the decisions of Sergeants and Privates made in...

The October 24 attack killed 17 Iraqis and wounded several reporters.

Al-Jazeera endures snubs but wins delegates By Frank Cerabino Palm Beach Post Columnist Thursday, July 29, 2004 BOSTON — The most important TV network at this convention may have been the one that was practically invisible. Al-Jazeera, the first independent satellite news channel in the Middle East, spent more time covering the Democratic National Convention this week than most American networks. "This will have dividends in becoming a respected news organization," said Stephanie Thomas, 38, Al-Jazeera's bureau manager and communications director at the convention.

Al-jazeera as most of us know is an Arabic satellite news channel that provides the world with vulgar anti-American propoganda. Did you know DishNetwork makes al-jazeera available right here in the USA? If you have DishNetwork, cancel service. If you live in a rural area and must have satellite TV, at least cancel HBO or premium packages and pay-for-view. Call your provider and TELL them of your actions. Free speech- YES! Economic boycotts of greedy enablers who provide seditionist garbage from abroad is FREE SPEECH!!

CRAWFORD, Texas — President Bush was told more than a month before the Sept. 11 attacks that Al Qaeda (search) had reached America's shores, had a support system in place for its operatives and that the FBI had detected suspicious activity that might involve a hijacking plot.

White House aides and outside experts said they could not recall a sitting president ever publicly releasing the highly...

Cairo, Egypt :Al-Jumhuriyah in Arabic 19 Mar 03 p 4 [Article by Dr. Abd-Al-Azim Ramadan : "Al-Jazirah's Self-Flagellation"] Those who watch Al-Jazirah Channel, and the particular guests it hosts, must conclude that this channel is planning for Arabs to lose their identity, their history, civilization and homelands for the sole pretext that the Arab nation is unable today to help Iraq ! If Al-Jazirah channel were fair, it would have held seminars to probe the reasons for the Arab nation's inability today to help Iraq ! It would have realized that the Iraqi regime was the reason. This same Iraqi...
