Al Jazeera Reports Napalm Gas Used in Fallujah
Is it true? The Western media isn't reporting on the use of banned weapons (or, not that I've seen). Al Jazeera may be the Fox News of the middle east (who called it that? Geoff? Matt?), but we still have to pay attention to what they are saying. I'm even more ashamed than I already was. Speaking of being an ashamed American, did anyone notice how the NY Times has a report every now and then about the immigration of Americans into Canada? I've seen at least two reports since the election. Nice.

So which is the real Aljazeera --
http://english.aljazeera.net
or
http://www.aljazeera.com
I think www.Aljazeera.net is the true arabic version, and right at the start of the Iraq war, they launched their english site...the .net sites also have the actual correct logos...
I know what you mean. I'm certain that the .net is the actual Al Jazeera site. The .com site seems like some sort of guerilla news thing. I read it to find out what people around the world are saying about the US (not so much for the "news"). I think the .net site is the credible site, as it were, but I think the .com site is more fun for headlines and spin. So, for example: Did the US use Napalm? I don't know. But do Iraqis THINK the US used Napalm on them? I think it's important to know their perception whether it's true or not. We should know what's being said.
Anna! I thought you knew I had a blog and that's why you sent me the link to yours. Otherwise I definitely would've given you the link to mine, too. I should try making a tres leche cake. So tasty! I hope you're feeling better.
