Al Jazeera spyed for the Iraqi Regime

Channel 4 News

[skinman_uk]

Just been watching UK channel 4 news and they have a report stating that documents found in Baghdad have been released containing information that Al Jazeera reporters were Secret Agents for the Iraqi regime. The documents also reveal that they received gifts and payments for their services.3 people were identified in the document. Can't find any links at the moment...

They just had the UK editor of Al Jazeera being asked about the allegations. He denied them all.....

The files keep coming. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi intelligence agency documents are now in the hands of the CIA and Iraqi opposition groups, who’ve collected them from ministries across Baghdad.

Though most are still under CIA control, their contents are beginning to emerge: The latest, the secret police files on Al Jazeera, the Arab satellite news channel, described by the Iraqis as “a mobilised instrument of our propaganda”. The Files boast of what they call “close cooperation” with Al Jazeera executives

"Full details of the files will be published in the Sunday Times tomorrow, whose correspondent has spent several days examining them."

I know which paper I'm buying tomorrow.. :-)

The Weekly Standard just did an article I can't seem to find at the moment on many arab as well as "western" journalist being on Hussein's payroll. It was well known that journalist were receiving cars, jewelry and cash to report positively about Iraq and Hussein. I'll lok for the article.

He was arrested by Colonie Police in June 2001 on a misdemeanor charge after he allegedly had a sexual discussion on the Internet with an undercover investigator he thought was an underage girl, law enforcement sources disclosed on condition of anonymity.

Look at this stunner....

The intelligence agency documents include files on three agents: two are Baghdad-based employees, the third is a senior Qatar-based executive. His file includes details of a gift of gold to his wife. It talks of his efforts to get air time for Iraqi officials.

Also in his file, a note confirming that copies of letters sent to Al Jazeera by Osama Bin Laden in the wake of 9/11, were passed to Baghdad.

Dave go look at the link skinman posted up in the thread.

I don't think the reporters were secret agents. I think they were bribed to give favorable coverage to Saddam's regime. Just like Peter Arnett.

Thanks for the Ping. I'm sure that CNN will be named as most favored western cable net bought by $oddomite!

Then the NY Slimes and other left wing fish wraps in America, the UK and Euro Trash land will be implicated.

Just follow the Iraqi Blood money stolen from the Oil for Food/Drugs as Soddomite and his sons spread it around the world.
