Re: [casi] Al Jazeera targeted in Baghdad




Not only Al Jazeera was targeted, but one of the US
tanks which was at the west end of Al Jumhuriya Bridge
in Baghdad this morning targeted Abu Dhabi Channel's
office with machine gun fire and later with a
shell....

Half an hour ago, US planes attacked Palestine Hotel,
where all the journalists are stationed and where they
sleep, wounding tow journalists reportedly from
Reuters.
Arab stations are wondering why only Arabs are
targeted, and whether the US is frustrated that the
battles are being shown live without its censorship or
control... The comparison to blowing up Al Jazeera's
office in Kabul comes to mind..

Immediately after the attack on the hotel, Iraq's
Minister of Information was there talking to the
reporters and saying that the US tanks inside Baghdad
have been attacked from the rear cutting thewir
retreat line...
Are the Americans going to bring freedom to Iraq this
way, when they don't allow freedom of expression?

Who knows!
