And I couldn’t be happier about it. Al-Crapeeza’s true colors are coming to the fore.
Firstly, Iraq’s Governing Council banned the satellite tv station from covering official activities for two weeks.
Al-Crapeeza’s response is laughable:US officials have accused the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera and the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya of giving too much prominence to anti-US attacks, and of providing a forum for backers of ousted president Saddam Hussein.
Yes, he did say that. How do these guys constantly lie with a straight face? They must be great poker players.Speaking to CNN, Aljazeera spokesperson Jihad Balout said, “my organisation is dismayed at this decision, and we certainly believe that there are several victims to the decision, firstly the truth, because it will be missing…..Al-Jazeera has been under pressure ever since day one of its existence, although it really adopts and practices the same principles of freedom of the press, and democracy and multiplicity of viewsas always advocated and asked people to do…At the end of the day, we are not in the business of censoring news and information, especially from our viewers. I think it’s incumbent on us to give our viewers out there as full a picture as possible, and as balanced [a] picture as possible and as comprehensive as possible.”
In other news, more has been revealed about Al-Crapeeza’s star reporter terrorist:
Let’s hope their week only gets worse.A journalist working for the Qatar-based Al Jazeera TV network who has been detained in Spain since early September had a key role in Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda network, a Spanish newspaper said Tuesday quoting FBI and Spanish police sources.
According to Barcelona-based La Vanaguardia daily, the FBI and Spanish police concluded that Tayssir Alluni, 56, was “in charge of Al Qaeda propaganda for Europe and the United States.”
