I think we must:Stop those channels and then fight the terrorists……..It’s not enough to warn them, we did that previously, there must be a way to stop them.. I believe that without those channels the terrorists will be powerless and weak.
Al Jazeera is a propaganda advertisement for the Terrorists; but continuing to speak out against it has achieved some progress. Apparently, they are no longer showing the actual beheadings. It's a hint of what you can do.The Terrorists know they need the propaganda. You have only begun to fight. Al Jazeera has been at this for a long time. Since you know they do listen a little, figure out more ways to cut their propaganda.
Continue to talk it up; AJ can be fined, they can be temporaryily thrown out. Possibly both! Truth, without propaganda, or they have to remove themselves from the country--escort them out, if necessary. Each infraction gets a fine and they can't come back until they pay it.
Go[od] job, AYS. Keep it up. Try to get others to put on more pressure.
(..)something must be done to sever the symbiotic link between the terrorists and their propaganda wings like Al-Jazeera.(…)
In this context I would call the Committee?s attention to a recent report of what may well have been an unintentional omission on a form, but which raises the issue of how important it is to make careful judgments about how widely information is disseminated. In a piece in Salon.com day before yesterday, June 22, by Salon?s Washington Correspondent, Mary Jacoby, it was reported that ?[t]he policy director for the Department of Homeland Security?s intelligence division was briefly removed from his job in March when the Federal Bureau of Investigation discovered that he had failed to disclose his association with Abdurahman Almoudi, a jailed American Muslim leader. Almoudi was indicted last year on terrorism-related money-laundering charges and now claims to have been part of a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia?s Crown Prince Abdullah.? The article adds that the individual who was temporarily removed ?? has access to top secret information on the vulnerability of American seaports, aviation facilities, and nuclear power plants to terrorist attacks.? It further adds that the Bureau had discovered that the individual ?? had failed to list on security clearance documents his work in 2001 with the American Muslim Council?? an ?advocacy group, which was controlled by Almoudi [and] has been under scrutiny in an investigation of terrorism financing?.?

(…)The second passenger on Flight 327 said the men were "up and down the aisles of the plane the entire time," and that one of the men pushed other passengers as he rushed toward the front lavatory. She said the man did not appear to be ill, and remained in the lavatory during her entire meal. (…)
"There was more activity up and down the aisle through first class than I have ever experienced on any flight, including international flights," the second passenger said. "The most unusual part was that the flight attendants seemed to ignore what was going on."
The second passenger said she did not share her concerns with the flight attendants because "I thought I was just crazy, and I didn't want to be the crazy person on the flight that stands up and says something is wrong, but I will now in the future. I praise Annie for what she did, because I didn't have the guts to."

One of the headliners at the Democratic National Convention was Al Sharpton. As has been noted elsewhere, his "mainstreaming" is now complete. He is accepted as a standard-bearer by the Democrats. Jay Nordlinger writes that the delegates cheered him wildly at the convention. (…)
He has a history that is positively unbelievable. If you are familiar with his past you'll know what I'm talking about. If not then you're about to find out a whole lot more about the Democrats.
For a complete history of the Rev Al, read Jay Nordlinger's entire article in National Review. Al's history of hate is too long for me to review here. I do, however, have a few questions that I'd love to ask the good reverend if I ever chance to meet him; (…)
When some claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war, state thefollowing ... FDR...led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.
Truman... finished that war and started one in Korea, North Korea never attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,334 per year.
John F. Kennedy...started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us. Johnson...turned Vietnam into a quagmire. Vietnam never attacked us. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.
Clinton...went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent,Bosnia never attackedus.He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions. In the two years since terrorists attacked US! President Bush has ... liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.
What happened and why it happened to Ljungrenn becomes more significant because of the sexual and financial misconduct charges that Nair is facing. Nair runs the U.N. Office of Internal Oversight Services. Ljungrenn, in her position as Nair's executive officer, would have had direct knowledge of Nair's personnel decisions.

SADDAM Hussein has suffered a minor stroke and could die before his trial, his defence lawyers claim.(…)
Mr al-Rashdan said: "Our information is that he's in very poor health. We understand from the International Committee of the Red Cross that our client has had a brain scan to discover how badly he has been affected by the stroke. We believe he could die because of his health problems.
"We also think an attempt may be made on his life.(…)
(…)The newspaper quoted Bakhtiar Amin, the human rights minister in the new Iraqi government, who said he had visited Saddam’s cell on Saturday. Amin said he did not speak to the former Iraqi leader.(…)
He reported that Saddam was being treated for high blood pressure and a chronic prostate infection, and was gaining weight after losing 11 pounds during a time when he resisted all fatty foods.
Thank God for Hans Blix. Whenever we become lax and forgetful about how the world changed on Sept. 11, former chief inspector Blix is there to make the case for mindless complacency. In a recent speech in Vienna he warned that one should be wary of the claim that "the risk that reckless groups and governments might acquire weapons of mass destruction is the greatest problem facing our world today." Why? Because "to hundreds of millions of people around the world, the big existential issue is hunger, and also that wherever you live on this planet, the risk of global warming and other environmental threats are existential." (…)
What is so dismaying is that such an obvious truth needs repeating. The passage of time, the propaganda of the anti-American left and the setbacks in Iraq have changed nothing of that truth. This is the first time in history that the knowledge of how to make society-destroying weapons has been democratized. Today small radical groups allied with small radical states can do the kind of damage to the world that in the past only a great, strategically located and industrialized power such as Germany or Japan could do.
It is a new world and exceedingly dangerous. Everything is at stake. We are now deeply engaged in a breast-beating exercise for not having connected the dots before Sept. 11. And yet here we are three years after Sept. 11, with the dots already connected, and we are under a powerful urge to ignore them completely.
(…)What’s even worse and disgusting is that these governments smugly come and ask the admirably determined nation Australia to apologize while it’s them who must apologize to the whole world for their awful mistakes that encouraged terrorists and reassured them that their criminal tactics can work.
These countries have found excuses for terror and gave the terrorists the motives to carry on with their plans as long as these plans can make "sovereign countries" yield in front of a true criminal action.
1. Sleep on a cot in the garage.
2. Replace the garage door with a curtain.
3. Six hours after you go to sleep, have your wife or girlfriend whip open the curtain, shine a flashlight in your eyes and mumble, "Sorry, wrong cot."
4. Renovate your bathroom. Hang a green plastic sheet down from the middle of your bathtub and move the showerhead down to chest level. Keep four inches of soapy cold water on the floor.
5. Stop cleaning the toilet and pee everywhere but in the toilet itself. For a more realistic deployed bathroom experience, stop using your bathroom and use a neighbor's. Choose a neighbor who lives at least a quarter mile away.
America is WinningAmerica is winning in Iraq. Despite the continuous violence and the kidnappings we witness everyday, I now believe that the US and its Iraqi allies are on the right track. The US can easily see light at the end of the tunnel simply because it seems that Iraqis started to realize that they are not living in a country from Rent A Country.

Well there is nothing wrong, actually every thing is fine here, except I have lost two assistants at the same day (one of them got married and her husband is taking her out of Iraq the other one found her self another job with triple of what she used to get with us), happy things as you can see.(…)
What may back up my criteria is what is going on in the ISX (Iraq Stock eXchange). Things there are more than good, its terrifying good. Nobody expected to close deals in one day with the same value of what he used to close in three months work, and investors are trying to find themselves a broker who isn’t so occupied with deals. (…)

Before June 28th, many Iraqis felt that their country was owned by the US who literally took it from its previous owner Saddam Hussein. Today it seems that more and more Iraqis are beginning to feel that there is a political process currently underway which will put the average citizen behind the steering wheel.
One of the most important developments I have heard so far is the increasing number of Iraqis who are willing to break the "fear barrier" and supply the Iraqi Police with valuable information about criminals and terrorists. My fellow blogger Mohammed reported on this in one of his recent posts.
