#1 Not a twitch on the suprise meter here.

Here is the interesting tidbit:
Saaedan added that he heard one of the terrorist calling Al Jazeera TV reporter to come to record a video tape. He was then forced to sit in front of Al Jazeera reporter and camera and one of the terrorists read the statement. He was then moved into another place waiting for the execution on 4 June 2004.
On the early morning of the same day there were an exchange of fire between the terrorists and the US forces which helped Saaedan to escape with the help of one of them.

Mr Saaedan now taking legal action against Al Jazeera TV because they joined the terrorist in his death and have not informed the officials about what it has happened with him especially they know all about it including his place and the execution.
In actual fact Saaedan saw the tape broadcasted by Al Jazeera on 5 June 2004 after his escape as well as by the BBC.

#2 No doubt this prompted Canada to ok Al Jazeera broadcasts.

#5 Under US law (not that it matters here), Al Jiz employees would be complicit, and would be indicted for kidnapping and murder of US citizens.

Does that mean we can JDAM Al Jiz to carry out the sentence for a captiol offense??

;)

#6 Al-Jizz is acting suspicious about the Bulgarian hostage tape...trying to keep the Bulgarian offiials from analyzing it.
So, it's pretty clear that Al-Jizz films the hostages and the beheadings for the terrorists.

#8 Hmmm, I guess I should have made this an article instead of a link. He had no direct link to the post, so you have to scroll down to June 28th.

Thanks for posting that Crazyfool. Does anyone have a link to the marine Lt that witnessed two Al Jazeera stringers pay Iraqis to riot outside of one of their positions? It ran as a column in a small paper a few months back.

#9 Clean em out. Once they start colaberating in the abductions and murders of hostages they loose their "freedom of the press" status in my book.

#10 Amen, John. We (RBers) were calling for the licensing of the "Press" in Iraq over a year ago - say $50K for each Press Pass. All those who were deemed by the CPA or CENTCOM Mil Cmd to be biased would be tossed, permanently. Al Jizz would've been thrown out in the first week. I wonder how many lives would've been saved because there wasn't some group of asshats setting up IED's or rocketing a base or firing on aircraft for a promo film?

#12 Even if they are not personally complicit they are working for a "on going conspiracy"m to destablize Iraq.
Take them out. I have a feeling the reporters killed so far were standing with bad guys when killed. Message to reporters, don't hang with or encourage bad guys.
