(CBS/AP) PARIS - Al-Jazeera's offices in Cairo were stormed and torched and its Website hacked Friday, says the Pan-Arab broadcaster, while the top U.N. human rights official complained that media covering Egyptian pro-democracy protests are being arrested "in a blatant attempt to stifle news."

Qatar-based Al-Jazeera - widely watched in the Middle East - portrayed the attack on its office as an attempt by Egypt's regime or its supporters to hinder its coverage of the uprising in Egypt. Al-Jazeera said the office was burned along with the equipment inside it.

Play him like fish Honsni, Israel and the whole of Europe support you.

Really?
I like being on Israel's side - but I thought the bulk of Europe (not counting Switzerland and the Eastern countries) were primarily of the Surrender Monkey ilk ... That is, they would be supporting the "One"... I figured they were polishing up another Nobel Peace prize to give him.

The coldest winter in Europe for centuries. Oil is on everyones mind,and the surrender monkeys do not like to be cold.

Fundamental societal needs are hanging in the balance, Cid, and this is going to get ugly.

The surrender monkeys will not go to war....but they are excellent prosecutors of cloak and dagger. And the knives are out.The Mossad is not inactive, their motto: “ Anything is Possible”

Hah! I guess Al Gore's Global Warming machine (he brings cold where ever he shows up) is going to have some positive benefits after all...
