This incident, which occurred during the U.S. assault on Baghdad and after criticism of Al Jazeera's coverage from those supportive of the war aims of the United States forces, gave rise to suspicions that the network had been targeted. The five-page memorandum is said by the Mirror to be a record of the meeting between the two leaders which took place on 16 April 2004 at the height of Operation Vigilant Resolve, an assault on Fallujah by U.S. Marines and Iraqi security forces. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera_bombing_memo   (1326 words)      TBS 15 Is Al Jazeera Alternative? Mainstreaming Alterity and Assimilating Discourses of Dissent by Adel Iskandar While acknowledging Al Jazeera’s accomplishments in broadening the media discourse in the Arab world and raising the bar for investigative journalism in the region, it is naïve to suggest that its content, institutional operations, values, or political economic conditions qualify it as an alternative media source in the region. Similar criticism is lobbed at Al Jazeera, with critics pointing out the channel’s incitement of activism against Arab regimes, violence against US interests, and hatred of Israel. Therefore, Al Jazeera’s dissenting discourses are potentially a verbalization of Arab publics’ critiques of government. http://www.tbsjournal.com/Iskandar.html   (4619 words)      Al Jazeera Info - Encyclopedia WikiWhat.com On September 23, 2003, Iraq suspended Al Jazeera (and Al-Arabiya) from reporting on official government activities for two weeks for what the Council stated as supporting recent attacks on council members and Coalition occupational forces. This led to criticism by the United States government that Al Jazeera was engaging in propaganda on behalf of terrorists, but Al Jazeera countered that it was merely making information available, and indeed several western television channels later followed suit in broadcasting portions of the tapes. In May 2003, Al Jazeera briefly came under attack when the CIA released documents through the so-called "Iraqi National Congress". http://www.wikiwhat.com/encyclopedia/a/al/al_jazeera_1.html   (949 words)      DoD News: Secretary Rumsfeld Interview With Al Jazeera TV Al Jazeera: If I understand, some people say you are targeting Iraq because it is the weakest side of the axis of evil, and that you want to cover your failures in Afghanistan, you still have unfinished job. Al Jazeera: Does it surprise you that the largest demonstrations happened in the capitals and the cities of those people who are supportive of your position now vis-à-vis Iraq? Al Jazeera: I'm not trying to sort of find excuses or defend the regime of Saddam Hussein. http://www.defenselink.mil/transcripts/2003/t02262003_t0225sdaljaz.html   (3500 words)      village voice > news > The Painful Lessons of Abu Ghraib by Kareem Fahim Al Mirazi admits that some of the criticism leveled at the station is valid, and he is especially concerned about the tendency of some field reporters to editorialize. Hafez Al Mirazi, a former reporter for the BBC and the Voice of America, is Al Jazeera's Washington bureau chief, and the figure that most of the action in this small office seems to hover around. And since September 11, Al Jazeera's omnipresence in Afghanistan and Iraq has left the channel, for the most part, on the wrong side of the U.S. government. http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0419/fahim.php   (1599 words)      The Electronic Intifada - Features - Articles & Commentaries - The CNN of the Arab World deserves our respect Since almost all hard news coming from the war zone comes from Al Jazeera, its coverage is often cited, but generally with the proviso that this information "cannot be independently confirmed," as if there were any question about its credibility. Al Jazeera represents the best trends of openness and democratization in the Arab world. Because of its reporting and free-wheeling call-in talk shows, Al Jazeera has evoked the wrath of almost every Arab government. http://electronicintifada.net/features/articles/20011022alihussein.html   (755 words)      OpinionJournal - Featured Article The secret of al Jazeera's undoubted success, however, lies not in its craven approach to Arab leaders, but elsewhere. It should hardly be surprising then that a dozen of al Jazeera's most frequent guests, including the Jordanian Abu Qattadah and the Egyptian Yasser al-Sirri, are now in prison in Europe for alleged links with al Qaeda. The impression created is that not only do Islamists dominate Arab politics, but also that they are the only ones with a credible program of reform in societies that badly need change. http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=95001657   (1477 words)      Documenting Al Jazeera. By Lee Smith Last Friday, Al Jazeera's English-language Web site reported that Al Jazeera reporters had come under fire in Fallujah, including a bombing raid that came "disconcertingly close to the news channel's office." The story went on to note that "Aljazeera journalists have found themselves at the receiving end of US-aggression often in the past." The problem for the rest of us isn't Al Jazeera or Arab-press-style conspiracy theories appearing in the Western media. Moreover, there was apparently plenty of time to flush out the various conspiracy theories advanced by Al Jazeera journalists. http://www.slate.com/id/2098668   (990 words)      [No title] Al Jazeera broadcast the blood libel that Jews had been warned by Israel's Mossad in advance about the 9-11 attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center and thus had stayed home that day. Al Jazeera interviewed, as one of its "experts" making this claim, the American former Ku Klux Klan and American Nazi Party leader David Duke, without clearly explaining to its Arab audience who and what Duke is.

The CIA report, along with firsthand accounts from Arab journalists, paints a troubling picture of the Arab media coverage--or, as important, lack of coverage--of the Iraqi regime. These revelations support claims in a CIA document first reported by The Weekly Standard earlier this month. http://weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/002/736nibie.asp   (530 words)      Al Jazeera's web site – DDoSed or unplugged? The Register The alternative to the conspiracy theories is that weaknesses in Al Jazeera's DNS meant they were vulnerable to load, and that the disappearance of the DNS was therefore a consequence of the attack. The launch of Arab satellite TV network Al Jazeera's new Web site on Monday drew immediate hack attacks, but this has been swiftly followed up by the disappearance of the site's DNS records. That you will note is one of two possible conspiracy theories, and does not necessarily involve US.gov. But we expect that if the site hadn't disappeared already, pretty soon US.gov would get involved until it did - which is conspiracy theory two. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/03/27/al_jazeeras_web_site_ddosed   (857 words)      Why Al Jazeera is as fair as CNN. By Chris Suellentrop But Al Jazeera, with its Fox-like slogan "The opinion and the other opinion," is the closest thing the Arab world has to an independent press. Al Jazeera's access inside Iraq has been valuable toward Americans gaining a broader perspective of the war. For one thing, Al Jazeera still receives funding from the monarchical government of Qatar, and even fans like El-Nawawy rap Al Jazeera for refraining from tough coverage—or any coverage—of Qatari politics. http://www.slate.com/id/2081057   (1138 words)      Did Bush Really Want to Bomb Al Jazeera? Al Jazeera's camera crew was also uploading video of the devastation for all the world, including Iraqis, to see. A handful of unembedded journalists, most prominently from Al Jazeera, were providing the world with independent, eyewitness accounts. The Falluja offensive was one of the bloodiest assaults of the US occupation of Iraq. http://www.thenation.com/doc/20051212/scahill   (1216 words)      Al Jazeera and the Net – free speech, but don't say that The Register There are many ironies to the multi-decked 'get Al Jazeera' campaign; one attack suppressed the site with the slogan "Let Freedom Ring!" (only up to a point, presumably), while practically none of those busily denying themselves the right to access it can have had time to read it in the first place. Essentially Al Jazeera's 'Iraqi propaganda' activities are no greater (perhaps even rather less) than those of many liberal media outlets. For what it's worth, the English site's headlines this morning would not have looked particularly out of place from one of the more liberal Western news sources, and the site's British forces take over Basra report was perfectly straight, and pretty much in line with what the BBC has been reporting today. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/04/07/al_jazeera_and_the_net   (1555 words)      Technorati Tag: Al Al Gore Says He Might Run in 2008 Check out this hilarious segment, If Al Gore Were...

By the time the war in Iraq began in March 2003, Al Jazeera was probably the most identifiable Arabic brand in the world.

The United States bombed its offices in Afghanistan in 2001, shelled the Basra hotel where Al Jazeera journalists were the only guests in April 2003, killed Iraq correspondent Tareq Ayoub a few days later in Baghdad and imprisoned several Al Jazeera reporters (including at Guantánamo), some of whom say they were tortured.
