A CHILL FOR AL-JAZEERA NEW YORK POST Editorial September 27, 2005 Of the 18 Islamist militants sentenced in Madrid yesterday, one stands out. Tayseer Alouni, a "journalist" for Al-Jazeera — the Arab TV network — was sentenced to seven years for terrorist "collaboration." No surprise there. The channel has become the essential media platform for various al Qaeda-linked groups — while masquerading as a news organization. The company heavily protested Alouni's conviction. An editor for a European "watchdog" group, Reporters Without Borders, complained, "Journalists have always investigated terrorist groups and their activities. It's part of our job." Some journalist, Alouni: The Spanish court found that he actually carried funds for al Qaeda. Alouni's sentencing will not usher in a "chill" on the media, as some will claim. It just means that terrorists can't use the media as a shield as they go about their plotting. And if Alouni's fate puts the Al-Jazeera crew on notice about the consequences of being in bed with the terrorists that it "covers" — well, so much the better. nypost.com
