13. Double thanks.
Al Jazeera You Tube site is working fine for me. It occasionally freezes for 5 seconds, but that is all.
Nice to have back ups tho.
One can never get enough of watching meglomania of Gaddafi.

( what IS it about all these evil doers and their "victim" complex?")

4. 'being blocked' implies someone is blocking them
If you just mean their website is overloaded, and won't respond fast enough, then that's a different matter. But "Al Jazeera is being blocked" does seem to want an answer to 'by whom?'

8. Why most Americans can't get al Jazeera English
I think it's being done by powerful lobbies, those which inspire islamophobia, and don't want the US public to see what's really going on. Yesterday (or maybe the day before) al Jazeera had a half hour show showing the way US army medics help wounded soldiers in Afghanistan. This isn't exactly what the powers that be in Washington want the US public to watch.

12. So much for the U.S. being "the shining light on the hill" and a "beacon of freedom"...
...and blah, blah, blah.
