Well, whiskey, as much as I dislike many aspects/actions/policies of the Bush admin, the fact is that we are at war - and propaganda plays a role.

Given Al Jazeera's role as an anti-American propaganda organ, it is certainly a legitimate military target. However, anything so clumsy as bombing their headquarters in Qatar would certainly negate whatever benefit accrued from eliminating them.

Most likely this report is propaganda from terrorists or other anti-American elements; propaganda which Al Jizz is only too happy to disseminate.

As an independent news source, Al Jazeera is certainly NOT a legitimate military target, anymore than Fox News would be (it would rightly be considered terrorism if any American media outlet was bombed).
