Terrorists mix candy with blood

US soldiers were distributing candy to a group of Iraqi kids. A terrorist didn't like it so he slammed his explosives ladden car in the US soldiers and the children around them. One US soldier and 2 dozens kids were killed. Wow, how wonderful the resistence is!

Upon reading this story, I immediately logged on to Al Arabiya and Al Jazeera websites. Here is how the 2 channels covered the same story:

Al Arabiya:

- Al Arabiya mentioned that kids were killed
- They mentioned the "candy story"

Al Jazeera:

- Al Jazeera website did not mention that kids were killed. They just said that "24 Iraqis and one US soldier was killed".
- They did not mention the "candy story".

I have mentioned before that Al Arabiyah channel started to take an anti-terrorists in Iraq stand when the great Abdul Rahman al Rashed became its general manager.

My web counter indicats to me that I do get a lot of visitors from the US State department and the Department of Defence. To those people I want to say this: the war on terror will never be complete without we witness a change in the top managment of Al-Jazeera. The ruler of Qatar must be forced to fire Al-Jazeera's top management and replace it with a sensible one just like what the Saudi owners of Al Arabiya did. The ruler of Qatar must be forced to do so even if this means shutting down the huge US base in Doha.

Dear readers, please send this post to any official you know.
