#1 AJ - darn, that Simcox guy didn't play and blew our cover. I guess we'll have to go undercover now to get the intel we need.

Beware minutemen!

#2 "They are a legitimate news organization," said Jacqueline Sharkey, head of the journalism department at the University of Arizona. "There has been criticism in some of the ways they have covered the war in Iraq - just as there's been criticism of the way some of the U.S. media have covered the war in Iraq."

Damn, the rot is deep.

#3 The network canceled the project, Hssaini said, after Minuteman organizer Chris Simcox refused to cooperate and then notified the Border Patrol and members of the state's congressional delegation about Al-Jazeera's plans.

"They decided it wasn't worth it," the reporter said.

"After all," he continued, "now that the Border Patrol is aware, there's a chance they might beef up patrols in the areas we cover. If some of our sponsors get arrested, they might think we set them up."

#4 "I am a professional journalist. They think bin Laden himself is sending me out there," he said. "I find it a little bit racist."

Well, I find you more-than-a-little-bit stupid. Leave us assume for the moment you are exactly who you say you are, with motives as pure as the driven snow. Will you bet me your life that there will be nothing in the report the bad guys can use? Any bad guys? I didn't think so.

#6 I wonder if Al Jazeera would have made it clear that the folks are trying to get into America (helpful for Al Queda) or make it look as though folks are trying to get out of America (helpful for Arab propoganda in general).

#7 "They are a legitimate news organization," said Jacqueline Sharkey

Yeah, and so was Pravda.
Jacqueline Sharkey is a standard leftist professor type, who repeatedly has claimed that Cheney is trying to censor the media.

#8 Keep trying there, Nasdarooney. It worked for me. They thought I was a friggin saint at the Times. Me and Joe Stalin laugh about that all time when they're not shoving hot pokers up our asses here in Hell.

#11 Can one of the more enlighted scholars here help me> I recently read about a doctrine in islam, or at least a branch of islam that permits deception, disinformation and outright lies by their followers if it serves the casue of jihad and they are weak. Can anyone point me to it. I need to be able to confront some public statements by imams by questioning their truthfulness in light of this doctrine. Any help?

#12 No. I am ignorant of the kram. Prehaps posting the question 10 or 12 times on one site will help.

#13 fortunately, both Fred and .com knew the answer. as for repeating the question, i didn't realize the multiple posts would somehow offend someone or be impolite. Thanks for the sarcasm!

#15 Enough,
You are thinkng of "taqiyya". Here is an islamic explanation of it: part 1 part 1 part 1

There is also "kitman": concealment of malevolent intentions. Taqiyya and kitman: The role of Deception in Islamic terrorism

Finally there are the "takfiri": those who discard muslim practice in order to blend in to infidel society to kill them. Zawahiri, Zarqawi, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman (mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing) and Mohammed Atta and the Hamburg cell of AQ that did 9/11 were thought to belong to Al Takfir Wal Hijra.
