In a way, it's unfortunate. Al-Jazeera has broken the monopoly state-controlled media had on information in the Aran world. And the Emir of Qatar has taken a lot of heat for not only letting it do it, but encouraging it. He seems committed to turning Qatar into a democracy.

BUT there is that little matter of effectively aiding in violating the Geneva Convention on POWs. I can understand why the US gov't and US businesses are so pissed.
