well I'm waiting for http://english.aljazeera.net to come back up. Heres a site with others attempts to get it http://azplace.net/view.php?page=Ho...eera+In+English . I'm assuming I'm going to find a website similar to http://www.godhatesamerica.com/ and would be really surprised if it wasn't another propaganda news channel just with an Arab angle.

i know it's just a conspiracy theory.. but the US military could have actually ordered the hack and shut down of A.J.'s site for propaganda reasons .. but i guess we'll never know forsure ..

does this mean someone is gonna hack CNN.com .. ?

eh? Maybe I should try jumping off the top of a skyscrapper since I'm apparently in another reality with out death(note to non Americans do not attempt this in your own country/reality as loss of life/ severe injuries my be incurred in doing so). I'm confused as some of the time you forum goers love to point out the number of gun deaths/poverty/etc in America then one of you claims we live with a Disneyland mindset that knows no suffering... I would be surprised if your goverenments aren't trying to show you all the negatives/propganda and being as cynical as possible to support their own positions/interests.

Originally posted by PeacefulWarrior So why is the NYSE and Nasdaq punishing these journalists? It is because Al Jazeera aired clips of fallen American and British soldiers. Your right occrider, the American people don't need to see those clips and instead they may choose to remain in that dellusional state of mind filled with illusions and deceptions that they consider reality. I will not speculate on what Al Jazeera's intention for showing these clips was--instead I view the segments as reminders of the grit, pain and horror that is war (which they unquestionably are). I'm an advocate of all free speech and though, as ugly as it may be.

So I'm being dellusional just because I'd rather not see pictures that add further humiliation to the dead?? Nobody is so stupid as to think that when the pentagon says we have 49 combat casualties that these people were dying in their sleep. It's fairly easy to come to the conclusion that they either died by a) bullet or b) shrapnel and that it's not going to be a pretty sight. Why do I need to see pictures of that to realize war is horrible??? I already realize that it is!! Of course war is horrible I don't think that there's anybody out there that will say it's not. What so is it ok for all of us to be voyeurs now???

Broadcasting images of dead americans and showing the bullet holes in their heads is despicable and tasteless. It serves no journalistic purpose at all!

the fact is what they're doing on that website under the geneva convention concerning Prisonner"s Of War is illegal ....

The US media has shown Iraqi POW's prior to the Al Jazeera footage.

Occrider:

Media should be allowed to put up any kind of material it wants, and it's not up to the government to decide if that material is appropriate for the people or not. The people should decide whether that material is crap or not. Otherwise you have state controlled media in a country that's so loud about keeping their media free and unopressed. It's not better than the official Iraqi tv then, in fact it's worse because Iraq is at least honest and doesn't claim it has free media. Nobody is forcing you to watch killed american soldiers, and you can switch the channel if you want to. Besides, in the rest of the world (here at least), media are frequently showing pictures of dead bodies, and it's nothing anybody gets fussed up about.
