1/13 Go rent Control Room on DVD. Documentary on Al-Jazeera. Has a lot
of footage of a U.S. liason, too. Rated 8.0 on http://imdb.com.
\_ Saw it in the theaters. Thought it was interesting and thought-
provoking. Was sad to see it overshadowed by the other documentaries
last year.
\_ Does it have a political agenda or is it a true documentary?
\_ A documentary can't have a political agenda? Go home, little boy.
\_ No, it can't, to answer your question, fag.

\_ I love how someone signed my post for me, as if
that's supposed to piss me off or something.
\_ When someone is that stupid, it's good for
everyone to know who it is
\_ Seconded. Thanks. And the beauty is, the
jackass acutally verified it for you.
\_ Whoever said the person who signed my post
got it right, bitch?
\_ Chris, you're wrong. Grow up.
\_ Comedy gold. Like now I'm supposed
to be freaked out that someone
knows how to use finger, w, and
cron. Is this the same person who
thought that one guy was running an
online pharmacy on here?
\_ Freaked out? Why on earth would
you be freaked out over this?
Get a grip, dude. I think it's
more to do with either accepting
the fact that people now
associate your name with
stupidity, or continuing to freak
over something so dumb as being
'outed' on motd. You have GOT
to be an undergrad.
\_ Yes, it can, moron. -phuqm
\_ I saw 9/11 and it had no agenda whatsover. Nope.
Nada. Nothing. Totally unbiased.

\_ Noone said it was.
\_ It's a feature about Al Jazeera. It presents Al Jazeera as being
reasonable, rational, and concerned with doing the right thing.
Most of those interviewed are moderates, although they tend to
get (understandably) strained after a stray US bomb kills one of
their field corespondents. It's interesting because it's a point
of view you're not likely to have seen on the American news.
\_ "Stray bomb" isn't exactly the right phrase. "Missiles
deliberately targeting journalists" is probably closer.
\_ I'm still not convinced "journalists" is the right term
for the enemy propogandists at Al Jazeera, but I guess
I'll have to rent the DVD and decide for myself. I'll
rent it tomorrow.
\_ Looking forward to your take on it.
\_ I also watched Control Room. I think it's possible that
Al-Jazeera's Baghdad office (whose location the coalition
forces had) was deliberately attacked, but I think it's
more likely the A-10 pilot thought the guy with the helmet
pointing the videocamera at him was aiming a shoulder-
mounted SAM. I've also read one report suggesting that
this was the first time an A-10 was in the area, so he
probably either freaked, was trigger-happy, or there
really was someone firing at him from the same building.
The last explanation was the official U.S. one, but I
don't think it's correct given eyewitness reports.

\_ Yeah, just make conjectures based on no proof. How
are you any better than those who you condemn?
\_ I just read the previous post twice, and I'm still
trying to figure out who you think he's "condemning". |
