This
morning’s sequence of events
won’t exactly ruin Mr. Bush’s
day.
Al-Jazeera
TV nobbled, just in time
by Eric
Mueller our Middle East expert
AL-JAZEERA has announced that its broadcast of the
Top Secret (Sirri lil-ghaya) programme in which they interview two al-Qaeda activists who say they were involved in planning the attacks of September 11 will be broadcast for the first time with English subtitles.
[See panel on right for a schedule of the times it will be aired, and repeated next Thursday and
Friday.]
I have however also just learned that the panel discussion in Arabic which al-Jazeera had planned for September 10 on the significance of the attacks has now been cancelled. One of the organizers of the projected Amman revisionist conference planned for some months ago was to have taken part in that panel discussion, so it could have been both lively and interesting.
Thus we have a picture like this:
SATELLITE viewers can see the broadcast of
Al-Jazeera’ programme: “Top
Secret” (Sirri lil-ghaya) about secrets of the Sep.11 attacks.
For the first time it is subtitled in English.
Live:
Thursday 19:05 GMT
1st rerun: Friday 12:05 GMT
2nd: Saturday 00:05 GMT
David Irving comments:
THE last time George W
Bush wanted to silence al-Jazeera, the ” CNN” of the Arab world, was during his bombing war against Afghanistan. The TV station was showing undesirable photographs of mutilated bodies of women and children, blasted into eternity by US strategic bombers. The world began talking abut war crimes and atrocities.
Bush or his cohorts ordered a laser-guided bomb dropped on al-Jazeera’s station in Kandahar.
That taught those Arabs a bit about the First
Amendment.
- Al-Jazeera cancels a potentially
controversial debate on 11 September
11, and - Al-Jazeera broadcasts interviews
that confirm things that the Bush
administration has been claiming, and
even for the first time subtitles them
in English.
It is too early to scream
“conspiracy!”, but let’s just say that this morning’s sequence of events won’t exactly ruin Mr. Bush’s day.
