that is not the issue, nor is the content of al-Manar's broadcast. I do realize it is offensive however what censoring accomplishes is adding to their mystique, their glamour (at least from a macho adolescent type point of view), it says you frighten us, that's what terrorists want, it also is a slap in the face to every Muslim or now Arab American it screams "you people can't be trusted". In short it gives al-Manar power.
As far as when al-Manar was banned I was going on the only time frame in the article which was March'06, that is also not truly important except that it our government that long to figure out?
