Scahill on Bush on Bombing al Jazeera
Writing in The Nation, journalist Jeremy Scahill comes down hard on Bush’s alleged call for the bombing of al Jazeera. Scahill offers lots of context (which I’ll acknowledge to be a fairly one-sided account) to suggest that Bush’s threat was not the callous joke his defenders have alleged it to be, but a petulant whine about a news organization that at the time was really driving the Bush team nuts with its insistence on doing real journalism.
Anyway: The war on al Jazeera.
