Al-Jazeera's website now in english

bump to compete w/ other thread😀

Honestly I don't know how they come off as being objective when they insinuate so many things towards the US...Yes we showed their pow's but we weren't broadcasting interogations of them over the mass media or showing disrespect of the deceased iraqi soldiers..
 
Interesting. I don't even have to go further than the front page to see the real truth. "US Remembers Geneva Convention". That's enough for me.

I thought they were connected to CNN in some way? The front page reads more like the NY Post than anything else. This is the organization that has the reporter ask about the "big lie" during every news conference, correct? Even if you believed that, this is the last thing you want to do if you're a reporter- piss off your one newssource.

Sad that they are really the only independant Arab voice, and really the one that most Arabs will believe.
 
"US Remembers Geneva Convention". That's enough for me.

He he, that's pretty good. Pretty accurate, too, unfortunately. Why don't they just call the POWs "unlawful combatants" and do what they want to them?

Most media is biased, I thought everybody here already knew that.

Under DOS attack

Hackers attacked the Web site of Arab satellite television network Al-Jazeera on Tuesday, rendering it intermittently unavailable, the site's host said.

The newly launched English-language page, which went live Monday, was hardest hit in a bombardment of data packets known as a denial-of-service attack.

Ayman Arrashid, Internet system administrator at the Horizons Media and Information Services, the site's Web host, said the attack began Tuesday morning local time.

The Web host is based in the Persian Gulf state of Qatar. The servers that host the Al-Jazeera site are in France and the United States. Only the U.S. servers were under attack, said Arrashid, so the attackers were likely in the United States.

He said technicians were working to thwart the attack, but could not estimate when the site would be fully available again.

I wish they wouldn't DOS it...I think its important for Americans to be able to view the site and see the kinds of things being dished up to the greater Arab world regarding the U.S. It could serve as a useful catalyst for those in the greater public eye (oscar winners perhaps?) to promote a better understanding of the U.S. and what it stands for.
