The Daily Mirror is an anti-American tabloid. What a joke. [/ QUOTE ] True. But the use of the Official Secrets Act to prevent them publishing the story seems to indicate that there is some truth to it. The Evening Standard, which is also a terrible rag but not an anti-American one, also published a similar story I believe independently from the Mirror one.

That is from aljazeera.com, the website of an English language magazine. In the "About Us" section of their site they clearly state they have no connection with the TV station. Indeed I remember reading something about the TV station suing them over the url. The English-language website of al-Jazeera the satellite TV station is english.aljazeera.net [/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I fell for it.

Qatar is an ally of the US. US forces have been stationed in Qatar. US troops in Iraq have been sent to Qatar for R&R.
The idea that the US seriously considered bombing some TV station in a friendly country is not believable to anyone but conspiracy nuts.

Re: Freedom of the Press..., unless you disagree with the Prez.
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. This is plainly the statement of an idiot.
