gobbo writes "The buzz amongst my Muslim acquaintances is that the al-Jazeera site is under "cyber-attack." Shortly after posting photos of mangled Iraqi children the server became unavailable. I don't have satellite TV to see if they are reporting anything on al-Jazeera itself, but pinging their name servers fails too. For those who don't already know, the al-Jazeera channel is a pan-Arabic satellite TV channel out of Qatar." While I am certain many h4x0rs are political, I can't help thinking that script kiddies are like moths to the flame of rising page views.

    You are suggesting that Iraq should start bombing the alcove above Mrs. Johnson's garage to smoke little Billy out?

    Thankfully, The USA will soon finish FREEING IRAQ and KILLING SADAM AND HIS ARMIES!!! The other 90% of the world can pound sand if they don't like it.

  3. Too bad it's still around.. at all! by TheCeltic · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The US is in the process of FREEING IRAQ from a sick sick leader (SADDAM) and his armies. I look forward to the day that the rest of this confused world will look back and realize that is the case.
    As far as "AlJazeer".. I hope one of the US missles takes out the entire building (if it is in Iraq). If it's not in Iraq, then I am proud to see ANYONE hacking it and bringing it down. Hell, even the Slashdot effect works nicely. Too bad the Iraqi people will have to continue to suffer while they are liberated by America. If Saddam cared enough about the Iraqi people to not hide his weapons in schools, this would not be the case. Still, far less will be killed during the liberation process than Saddam would have tortured/raped/killed had the US not taken any action.

  4. BBC not objective by ccmay · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    True, the BBC is taxpayer-funded and doesn't need to worry too much about ratings

    Or balance, or truth, or objectivity...

    Even by English standards, the BBC newsroom is a pack of loony-left Trotskyites at the fringes of respectable opinion. They are as anti-American as anyone in Europe.
