While I don't claim to be all-knowing about what exactly our war with Iraq is all about, it does make me mad when I read what I suspect to be bold-faced lies.

This article here (http://english.aljazeera.net/topics/article.asp?cu_no=1&item_no=2162&version=1&template_id=277&parent_id=258) really teed me off. I highly doubt that U.S. forces would purposely/knowingly target an Al-Jazeera journalist.

The subject line could set off some angry feelings alone:

Dead Al Jazeera correspondent deliberately targeted

Puh-leeze.

And this paragraph is priceless:
“The Al-Jazeera team has no role in the war. We are only witnesses and are reporting objectively. This proves that the US is trying to cover the crimes it commits in its war on Iraq. Targeting witnesses is the biggest crime,” said Abdel-Hadi.

Spare me, please.

Yeah, well the people of Basra were chasing two of their journalists across the border into Kuwait for their blistering pro-Saddam propoganda.

It will be interesting to see if they listen to their "viewers" now, or whether Radio Sawa (hmmm, can it be long for an Al Sawa video channel) can counterprogram them and draw away sympathetic ears. Hey look what happened with FoxNews.... Did you ever think CNN and MSNBC would lean so far to the right as they have during this war........
