If They IM'd: Al-Jazeera and al-Qaeda


Don't bother telling this guy there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Al-Qaeda sympathizers are furious with Arab TV network Al-Jazeera for airing excerpts of an audiotape in which Osama bin Laden criticizes insurgents in Iraq, including his followers, for making mistakes and not being unified enough. Al-Jazeera's editor-in-chief, Ahmed Sheik, said the tape had not been misrepresented, saying, "Every time, we deal with their tapes same way we did last time."

Even the Beckhams don't get this bent out of shape about their press.
