Iraqi-American Fawaz Saraf emails:
Al-Jazeera opened one of their evening news broadcasts yesterday with the news of the "Martyrdom" of the leader of Al-Qaida in Iraq. This was followed by an hour long Al-Jazeera style "documentary" about the life of this murderer (the documentary talks about how Zarqawi entered Iraq to defend Moslem land and fight against the American invaders). Now this question: Why is Al-Jazeera, for all practical purposes a mouthpiece for a terrorist organization, allowed a presence in the US?
Terrorists persist only because we don't use our ability to decimate them; they depend on our self-restraint. From Roger L. Simon:
Given that the War on Terror exists more than anywhere in the realm of propaganda, the role of the Press Secretary is almost as crucial as the Defense Secretary.
In a war that is fought in the realm of propaganda, letting Al-Jazeera broadcast here, is comparable to letting terrorists maintain a military base on our soil.
