The reason why Al Jezerra is allowed to broadcast video of American hostages is the exact reason why we have troops in Iraq....Which is to promote Democracy, which includes freedom of speech!

I just donât understand why our government continues to put up with Al Jezera and not take them âoff the airâ. There would be no surer way of igniting what there is of "the Arab street" that's worth worrying about. Sometimes you have to disarm your enemy's propaganda by letting it be propagated without interference.

While I do not condone very much of what Al Jezeera shows on their broadcast, I could never condone the US stopping them. That is one of the great things about this country - freedom of speech. We allow people within and without to criticize us unmercifully sometimes and still we grow stronger. In the world society, we are the ones to look up to - despite what the UN thinks...why else does everyone want to come here so badly?

I just don't understand why our government continues to put up with Al Jezera and not take them "off the air". I am sure we have the technical know how and the necessary tools to accomplish the feat. By letting them stay on, we provide them with a huge propanganda platform around the world.
OR DOES OUR GOVERNMENT WANT THEM TO STAY ON AS A COUNTER PROPANGANDA TOOL??
