Aljazeera not allowed in Falluja . . .

It's better they allow the news in rather than a complete blackout.

"Aljazeera crew stopped" AND "Falluja besieged"

US occupation forces have prevented Aljazeera's media crew from entering Falluja city.

1. A fine example for the world to see. The paragon of democracy in action

How utterly stupid and anti-liberty and anti-truth. I guess we are now becoming worse than Israel in using these tactics of denying the truth to get out about our actions.

2. Word will get out. And the world will believe whatever the oppressed

will says the truth is. This administration will have no one to blame but itself. A free press can also protect our interests, but that thought probably never occurred to the political commisars in charge of the operation.

9. Link to Al Jazeera in English.

This is their website. I don't know if any cable companies carry their television broadcasts.

by the U.S., just as Qatar has.

8. I see them as Arab Fox

They have their own view, but it is a view. And if you can remove their bias, they do report things that we don't get to see.

10. If they are like Fox then why would we even bother to credit them?

Unless it is to use them as the subject of jokes and lies.
