ABOUT a century ago, the legendary publisher of the New York World, Joseph Pulitzer had a motto for his paper: "The World has no friends." Now, comes Hugh Miles with "Al-Jazeera," his exploration of the Qatari all-news network, and surely one of the most friendless news outlets of all time. The condemnation of Al-Jazeera by the United States and its allies is well known. The Bush administration criticized the network for its airing of anti-American views.
American bombs destroyed Al-Jazeera's Kabul office during the war in Afghanistan and its Baghdad office in the Iraq war, the latter attack killing a correspondent.

And Israel has also criticized Al-Jazeera for allegedly provoking violence there.

Hello FAS, wherever you are!
I'd be interested in reading the book, always good to know your enemy, but I'll be damned if I send even a used book store dime.
But you can bet the local New Paltz library will have a couple of copies...
An old FRiend was passing by and he got a whiff, too

Fuel laden planes were flown by islamics into buildings in September 2001, killing 3,000 people.
The majority of the American people believe these "incidents" were intentional.
Sheesh. I missed it.
well,
for you and the others who missed out, "dorion" (comment #4) was ranting about the Bush admin coming down on all who did not "toe the line", whining about them "outing" a CIA officer in retaliation for her husband's finger-pointing at the White house...you know - predictable, by-the-numbers whimpering Moonbat stuff...
