Now CNN reporting Bush wanting to bomb Al-Jazeera

[w8liftinglady]

Interesting translation from the al-Jazeera website...they are pissed.

[helderheid]

1. CNN?? wow!!

[acmavm]

2. They're angry? Who? Al Jazeera or CNN. If I was an Al Jazeera reporter

I'd be damn mad too.

[w8liftinglady]

7. ...al jazeera...

they are researching it,and if the memo is found to be valid,they say it "casts doubts on American political explanations of other events"

[acmavm]

9. You mean how we kill reporters, especially brown ones? Gee, and here

I've been wondering about that for a long time now.

[saigon68]

13. The Chimp loves to see minorities

And "brown men" exterminated

[mzmolly]

20. Ooooooooooooooooooh. Like trade center bombings being unforseen?

hmmmm.

[FreedomAngel82]

26. Don't forget the Italian reporter

[KingFlorez]

3. Whooooo!

[rodeodance]

4. cnn reported it at 7 am today--then said it was the Mirrow--obv. dismiss

al tone.

[rodeodance]

5. now the UK has arrested the guy who 'borrowed" the memo. see LBN>

[rodeodance]

8. msnbc a bit ago also--but WH communication director dismissed it.

[mandyky]

6. MSNBC has also mentioned it several times

Even a joke about bombing civilians isn't funny. Try it at an airport and see what happens!

Only we know GWB wasn't joking. Remember what started the insurgency in a big way - when they shut down al-Sadr's paper (the young cleric).

[durablend]

12. Is "Al-Jazeera" new code for the USA?

Cuz we all know *'s wet dreams involve nuking a couple of blue states and blaming Al Qaeda for it.

[AlCzervik]

10. Remember when they bombed the Palestine hotel and just happen to hit

where Al-Jazeera was broadcasting from and they killed one of their reporters? Bush doesn't like Al-Jazeera or Reuters.

[FreedomAngel82]

27. I believe I do remember that

[w8liftinglady]

11. It makes me think someone is wrestling with their conscience

the revelation of this,on top of everything else that is going on.I wonder who else will leak,now that the winds are changing...

[Catherine Vincent]

14. If that is proven to be true, the head CNN guy that resigned

will be vindicated (can't think of his name).

[Roland99]

16. Eason Jordan. eom.

[Catherine Vincent]

22. Yes, Eason Jordan

Thanks.

15. UK civil servant arrested and charged for leaking that document!! >>>>>

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10153489/

LONDON - A civil servant has been charged under Britain’s Official Secrets Act for allegedly leaking a government memo that a newspaper said Tuesday suggested that Prime Minister Tony Blair persuaded President Bush not to bomb the Arab satellite station Al-Jazeera.

The Daily Mirror reported that Bush spoke of targeting Al-Jazeera’s headquarters in Doha, Qatar, when he met Blair at the White House on April 16, 2004. The Bush administration has regularly accused Al-Jazeera of being nothing more than a mouthpiece for anti-American sentiments.

The Daily Mirror attributed its information to unidentified sources. One source, said to be in the government, was quoted as saying that the alleged threat was “humorous, not serious,” but the newspaper quoted another source as saying that “Bush was deadly serious, as was Blair.”

17. Bush IS A TERRORIST!!!

And our media is reporting it?! Ok...

:toast:

[central scrutinizer]

18. wouldn't unprovoked bombing be a form of.........

terrorism? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Kansas Wyatt]

28. Okay, would those with direct involvement of PNAC...

Be in violation of the Patriot Act?

Inquiring minds want to know more.

[Catrina]

19. Eason Jordan was right

Remember he was let go because he was overheard at a private party saying that people were suspicious that reporters were being targeted in Iraq by US troops. Wasn't he a CNN producer?

An Al Jazeera and Spanish reporter were killed in the Palestine Hotel in the beginning of the war. While Americans heard little about this, Spain has never forgotten it.

I also remember Al Jazeera's and, I think, the BBC's offices in Afghanistan being bombed.

Then there was the Knight Ridder reporter who was killed, and the near death of the Italian reporter recently.

This is an issue that has been boiling over in other countries for a long time, as so many reporters have died in this war.

It's interesting also that Rolling Stone published its article on the Rendon Group this week, where they admit to 'managing' the news.

If this turns out to be true, it is a crime. I also remember reading that over 19 Iraqi journalists have been killed over there.

And there was the time when Iraqi jouranlists walked out on Colin Powell protesting the deaths of their journalists.

Maybe the press is a little peeved at last and that's why they are covering this story. If the press cannot report on a war, that is wrong ~

30. What will happen if proven true?

[Roland99]

21. This will spark riots and deaths and the Dems and anti-war types blamed.

[enid602]

23. that damened lib'rul media

CNN should watch its back. They're probably next in line for a Bush bombing now that they've run this story? Who's next: PBS?

[mzmolly]

24. It's going to be hard to claim they didn't target reporters now.

:(

[FreedomAngel82]

25. I would be too

Rummy has not liked Al-Jazeera because they show the reality of war. Check out "Control Room" if you haven't.

[pacalo]

29. This administration gives "wag the dog" new meaning...

It's now "bomb it to make it go away".

Excuse me, while my mind backtracks...

[myrna minx]

31. This is horrible.

:scared: Isn't that the definition of terrorism? :scared:
