I think some of their sources are enemies to the USA. I also think they have sources on various sides of issues and involved in things that we can't get news on here.

Hardly just some sources. If you think I'm hostile to Al Jazeera, you should see how the Iraqis feel about it. First al Jazeera spent years praising Saddam to the skies; then they began praising the "noble resistence" in Iraq as it blew up Iraqis by the thousand. The Iraqi government has thrown Al Jazeera out of the country several times in protest. US soldiers treat the presence of Al Jazeera journalists as a leading indicator of IEDs in the area.

We know the director of al Jazeera was on the take from Saddam; considering the billions the Baathists stole on their way out and al Jazeera's recent coverage, it's a fair bet that they are still on the take.
