#5 I would feel more comfortable if the left Al-Jizz alone and just treated it as a possible terrorist organization. When you call for changes in a media outlet, you get some surface changes. Al-Jizz is what it is because there is a market for that type of clownshow journalism.

My impression is that the Iraqis, for one, will provide an alternative to Al-Jizz. There will be a spontaneous challenge to the Arab media on the grounds of truthfulness coming from other Arabs. We should monitor encourage and reward balanced Arab media with access but not finance the enterprise. Arab opinion can be monitored by circulations and ratings of balanced media against the inciters.
