Iraqi govt shuts down Al-Jazeera |

So much for bringing democracy to iraq. They claim AJ is inciting violence so they shut them down for 30 days.!! http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/international/AP-Iraq-Al-Jazeera.html

1. I didn't think Al Jazeera was located in Iraq |
|
I know they have treated the Al Jazeera reporters with "Extra Scrutiny" but i didn't think they had any legal right to fine or dictate law to them

Civil war anyone?

might as well they are the Amerikan equivalent! Al-JaFoxa is one sided and a detriment to the people of Iraq and America.

7. They just want AJ to be more like American media. More blondes. |
|
Preferably with sparkling teeth, voices like Shirley Temple, regaling the populace with sex-scandals and exposes on the dangers of nail polish remover.

8. Oh, did Georgie Boy take out a dictator at the cost of many America lives |
|
just to get to install another who would kiss his derriere?! That alone should make every parent of every soldier in the American Military revolt with disgust against Georgie boy. Furthermore, the military themselves should revolt against Georgie the Misleader. This is America, however, and coup d'etats don't happen--except when they happen in Florida with flawed ballots and vote stealing.:grr:

Man, those Iraqis are so fuckin' free, they can practically fly! They're free to do anything pleasing to their American masters that they want to do.

15. Limbaugh is FAR worse than Al-Jazeera |
|
And in fact, Al-Jazeera seems to broadcast actual news, from my limited viewing of it.

17. Anyone who thinks this was Iraq's doing is nuts |
|
I am afraid the US is getting ready to commit mass murder over there, and they are shutting down any media who will report what they are doing.

They are the only news source in Falluja and something could be planned for Falluja as we speak. We would not want al Jazeera reporting any "indiscretions"...I think Allawi and the American troops are getting ready to sweep Falluja...
