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.

    I hope that the USG is removing ALL the pro-terrorist idiots and the news sites that support them! If you are not with us... you are against us. If you are against us, you won't be for long.

    'When Rumsfeld says "coalition forces", it's translated on al-Jazeera as "occupation forces". Everyone is going to have their individual slant on how things are, but when you mangle a translation in that way, it shows intent. I find that disturbing.'

    They're calling a duck, a duck. Not much disturbing about that, not that I can see anyway.

    Ahem, FUCK OFF. Don't presume to know "my side".

    As for Rwanda and Kosovo, I was a teenager at the time, and caught up in all the bullshit that goes along with that. Now that I'm coming of age, it seems everything that I've learned about my homeland was a lie, and I have good cause to be pissed.

    So once again, fuck you, fuck Bush, and fuck anyone who voted for him. Oh, and thanks for Ashcroft.

    The only thing that matters now is that my friends come back alive.
