On Al-Jazeera

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Media, The War On Terrorism, The World, War

This post is an update from an original post over at the The Moderate Voice.

THE Daily Mirror was yesterday told not to publish further details from a top secret memo, which revealed that President Bush wanted to bomb an Arab TV station.

The gag by the Attorney General Lord Goldsmith came nearly 24 hours after the Mirror informed Downing Street of its intention to reveal how Tony Blair talked Bush out of attacking satellite station al-Jazeera’s HQ in friendly Qatar.

Wow. Crazy stuff afoot.

Al- Jazeera should be bombed it is just a propaganda tool that fans the flames and creates more religious zealots. What about the muslims slaughtering in Darfur?
