AL JAZEERA AND THE NYT: A reader emails to show a contrast between al Jazeera's coverage of the latest atrocity committed by the insurgents in Iraq, and the New York Times'. Al Jazeera's is tougher on the terrorists! Start with the photos, here and here. AJ also included this devastating quote:

Hassan Muhammad, whose 13-year-old son Alaa also died, said: "Why do they attack our children? They just destroyed one US Humvee, but they killed dozens of our children. What sort of a resistance is this? It's a crime."

I'm not criticizing the NYT's coverage as such. It was fine, if not as graphic as al-Jazeera. But I'm encouraged that al Jazeera is reporting on the popular backlash to terror. Isn't that a good sign?
