Al Jazeera Promoting Sectarian Violence?

   Speaking of Al Jazeera, it would seem that their office in Baghdad has let a few reporters go because who had been covering various areas of Iraq because the journalist had refused to to engage in a campaign to promote sectarian violence.

   This request came from an office manager,Hamid Hadeed, who happens to be the brother of Omar Hadeed, who is wanted by the Iraqi government for prosecution as a terrorist.

Pratha News Agency 

One of those sacked employees who refused to give his name for security reasons, said the plan prepared by Aljazera : spread lies to prompt sectarian hatred by news concentration on one side with twisted and exaggerated stories.

The source said that Mr. Hamid was smuggled out of the country and rewarded with managing the Baghdad office for his efforts to save and smuggle Mr. Ahmed Mansour Who was covering the clashes of Falujah.

Military Attempts Confiscation Of Video's From Afghanistan?

   Here's one that I missed from yesterday.

   We all know about the civilians in Afghanistan who were killed by US forces that were shooting at a suicide bomber who was acting alone.

   It is reported by witnesses that the US troops panicked and just started firing at whatever happened to be moving after the car bomb exploded.

   It is being said that the forces from the United States have tried to confiscate the video of the incident and also have tried to destroy the pictures that were taken after the shootings occurred.    Source

One ( witness )  told Al Jazeera: "There were no gunmen, this is a complete lie. This is a peaceful area, we don't have guns."

The dead included an 80-year-old man, whose grandson said: "A bomb exploded, my grandfather sat in a car and at that time American soldiers were shooting into my grandfather's car."

   If this turns out to be true, then I know of a few of the US military who should be tried in court for this kind of mis-hap. May want to add the top brass who ordered the confiscation of the vid's and the pictures.

  It would probably help if these troops were better trained before they are sent off to fight in a foreign land because if this continues to happen it will not be just the terrorist who they will have to worry about, it will also be the residents in these countries.
