| #11 Al J claims to have been targeted. If they had been targeted, they would be dead. |

| #10 I've seen the vile slanted rubbish these people produce at Jazeera. We'd do better not to close Sadr's newspaper but dial those artillery shells a couple of more degrees to the right. It serves them right and as Alaska Paul wrote -- this is war isn't it ? |

| #7 They make statements,rather than ask questions. So true, but I have to say I kinda like watching the NPRCNNABCAJBBCNYTETC reporters. It makes them look stupid, arrogant and annoying when they make such lame, childish proclaimations at the mikes. Keep digging that grave. Once it's deep enough, the earth will fall in and save everyone the trouble of having to cover the already dead and decaying credibility corpse. Pee-yew! Their reports stink. The Enquirer has become more credible than the news media. Only the suckers and the wannabelieves give them any credence. |

| #6 I think it is time for Al-jitzz to have some 'technical difficulties'. |

| #5 Would be appropriate to jam al jazerra for a few days, just to send a message.But they are not the only ones playing this game.Just witness Guardian reporters behavior at CNC briefings.They make statements,rather than ask questions. |

| #4 Most of what the Iraqis say about what's going on clearly shows they have been lied to and thoroughly disinformed. On one level I think it actually makes sense to shoot these shitheads on sight - but I know it's not happening. Typically, Arabs assume you are doing what they would do... Hell, it's a damned good thing for them that they face our Marines, instead of Persians or Peshmerga - imagine if they had our firepower! Seems to me those other guys have a major payback deficit with the Sunni assholes - and Al Jizz reporters would just be icing on the cake. Throwing Al Jizz and its ilk out of Iraq has made sense to me for a long time, now, and I've said it here before. It would prolly take a microscope to discern the substantive difference between what Al Jizz "reports" and what Sadr's "newspaper" spewed. |

| #2 I saw some AJ footage two days ago that explains this for the dense. An AJ camera crew was crouching behind walls on a rooftop as they filmed a small column of US vehicles moving in Fallujah -- gee, why would camera crews skulking behind barriers on rooftops pointing things at advancing forces ever be subject to mistaken fire? |

| #1 Al-Jazz is inside a war zone. They are in effect, the propaganda arm of the enemy, so they should be treated as the enemy. They take that risk when they go inside Fallujah. Making an example of a couple of these guys will throttle back the rest. After all, this is war. BTW, Happy Easter, Rantburgers. |
