so it appears that the iraqi "administration" has shut down al-jazeera for 30 days.
the arguments are presented in the above guardian article.
have any of you folks been following coverage of iraq through al jazeera's website or broadcasts? what do you think of it?
personally, i find it to be consistently interesting--and i appluad the fact that their coverage is willing to show to human costs of bush's war--civilian casualties in particular by publishing photos for example---which i assume underpins the charge from american conservatives that al-jazeera is "antiamerican"--which raises a host of problems about this (empty) notion of "anti-american" in all its aspects.
do you agree with the rationale offered by the iraqi administration? why?
