Al-Jazeera to Be Launched in English in America

Jihad TV is coming! From [1] Arab News, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

WASHINGTON, 22 March 2005 — Al-Jazeera news channel, the bete noire of both the Bush administration and many Arab governments, is shown on a daily basis to 35 to 50 million Arab households throughout the world.

Soon Americans will be viewing it in their homes — in English....

And a moral equivalence alert from the WaPo's former Baghdad chatter chief:

“The US needs to find a way to engage the Arab media, rather than shut down, marginalize, and ostracize news mediums such as Al-Jazeera,” said Rajiv Chandrasekaran, the Washington Post’s former Baghdad bureau chief.

Hugh Fitzgerald discusses Rajiv Chandrasekaran's remark [2] here.
