The “Secret” is Out: Terrorists Love Al-Jazeera   September 27, 2006

Nothing more needs to be said. Here’s how an AP story began:

“A major insurgent group in Iraq has praised Al-Jazeera television in an audio message posted on the Internet, saying the Arab satellite station served the fight against the Americans.

Most media played an “ugly and criminal role against the holy warriors,” the voice said. “But some media, though few and under pressure, were neutral and their important role was positive in our fight against the enemies. This includes Al-Jazeera.”

The terrorist group, the Islamic Army in Iraq, “is believed to include former members of Saddam Hussein’s Baath Party, his intelligence service and former army officers,” AP said.

AP added: “The group’s spokesperson, Ibrahim al-Shammari, is a frequent guest on Al-Jazeera, advocating Iraq’s right to fight against foreign forces he has called occupiers.”

All of this is consistent with the evidence in AIM’s DVD on how Al-Jazeera’s first managing director functioned as an  agent of the Saddam Hussein regime.

Al-Jazeera is “POISON” in U.S.   September 13, 2006

A post on the “Friends of Al-Jazeera” web site from U.S. News & World Report makes it clear: Al-Jazeera is “poison” in the U.S., making it hard for Al-Jazeera International to fly. This comes as AIM has posted poll results showing strong opposition to Al-Jazeera International.

The article goes on: ”the launch has fallen victim to enormous technical difficulties and the herculean task of selling an al Jazeera product in a post-9/11 America that’s at war in the Arab world and suspects-rightly or wrongly-that the network favors the bad guys.”

Wrongly? The post is usually seen next to an appeal for Tayseer Allouni, the Al-Jazeera correspondent in prison in Spain, having been convicted of being an al Qaeda agent.

The article adds: “I think it’s shortsighted not to carry it here, but then again, I don’t have to carry it,” says Paul Maxwell, the founder of CableFAX, considered the industry’s bible. “With the climate in the U.S. and the way the government behaves toward the network, who needs the bother?” (emphasis added).

In fact, the government should oppose the channel, according to a majority in our poll, and yet the current U.S. posiiton is to put U.S. officials on the Arabic Al-Jazeera to make us look better. What a great success that has been.
