In 2001 America destroyed the Kabul offices of al-Jazeera with two smartbombs; officials said it was an accident. In 2003 America destroyed the Baghdad offices of al-Jazeera with missiles; officials said it was an accident. Now, two British civil servants are on trial for leaking a memo revealing that Bush intended to bomb al-Jazeera… at their headquarters in allied Qatar.
I have no way of knowing whether the latter is true, of course, but it’s certainly an alarming possibility. I can’t see any reason why I’d dismiss the likelihood out of hand.
