    Wow. What a complete and thorough humiliation. Can anyone say "credibility on the line?"

    I think the funniest part was when he said he visits the site frequently.

    Good NPR story on him the other day, I don't remember who was interviewing him, but they put it to the guy for changing his stance on Al Jazeera and asked him why. Interesting piece

    Al-Jazeera is an 'equal opportunity offender', so the US government is not alone in its complaints about the network's coverage. Let me put it this way: they have the most uncensored coverage of world events than any other major news organization out there. They usually don't 'dance around the issue' and have very provocative programming, which is why they have such a tremendous following around the world, not just in the Arab world.
