Pentagon carrying Al Jazeera English

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Most Americans can't get Al Jazeera English, the new news network that U.S. cable and satellite TV does not yet offer. But Pentagon employees can.

AJE premiered this week on closed circuit Pentagon TV, available to anyone with access to the Pentagon's channel 2, according to Bryan Whitman, deputy assistant secretary of defense for Public Affairs. It launched mid-November with 12 hours a day and will expand to 24 hour coverage in 2007.

"It's a new channel in the international marketplace and it merits at least looking at it," Whitman told Pentagon reporters Friday morning -- in part to spread the word across the Defense Department that AJE is available.

"It's important for the Defense Department when operating in a 21st century environment to have situational awareness of all the different media out there, to know what they are reporting," he said.

1. I have Link TV which is worth the Direct TV subscription price

all by itself. Their "Mosaic" programme carries a great deal of Al Jazeera's content in Arabic with an English voice over.

Al Jazeera also has a website with an English page for those of us who are curious to read the other side, knowing truth usually resides somewhere in between.

I'm glad they're reaching out to the west. It's actually a good sign that they're not the bloody minded radicals this administration has painted them.

5. I get it here on Sky and it's a pretty good channel

lots of repeats right now in the middle of the night, but good in depth programming in areas CNN/Fox/MSNBC and the rest of the MSM have no reporters.
