    Record keeping will follow

    If the administration feels it's necessary to have large computers to keep records of who you are calling. They will surely want to find a way to track who is watching Al-Jazeera. (Will the cable companies have to turn over records next) I would love to have the opportunity to hear another side even if it slanted. But fear Record Keeping will follow.

    Balance is seldom that, but used as more of an indicator of whether we agree with the voice or not. First amendment rights died in this country long before I was born. A sufficient example for me is that I must put up FTA to see dissention non-approved by the gov't.

    I can't wait for Al- to hit T5. There would be far less of the so-called turmoil in the middle east if the US foreign policy wasn't there. I never bought into the idea that it's been going on there for centuries- nowhere near like it is now and we are a signficiant contributing factor.

    I believe, the one on DISH Network is NOT English spoken one...

    The thread is about "Al-Jazeera ( English Version)"

    Well now, you need only to pick up a Bible, to see that the United States wasn't even around, when they started killing themselves off!!!!


    How can people like you survive in this world, while running off at the mouth with absolute nonsense???


    Oh, BTW it hasn't been Centuries, unless you want to say 60 Centuries, because they have been killing themselves off for approx. 6,000 years....

    You have no clue, what you are talking about, and Our First Amendment Rights are as strong as ever, so you need to start doing some studying of the Middle East, so that the next time you open your big mouth, you will make some sense out of the knowledge that you have gained...

    I know the poll question has to do with politics, but lets please keep it on topic and not let the discussion get out of hand.

    Thank You.

    I guess you just haven't been reading the facts then!!! That Turmoil has been there for thousands of years before "Leaf Erickson" ever hit our shores, or Columbus for that matter...

    Oh Yeah, we were the ones who backed "Samson", sorry I forgot about that...

    You need to get your facts straight, before running off at the mouth!!! You don't have a clue, about what you speak!!!

    Al-Manar

    I would like to see Al-Manar also. Banning it is not good as someone could decide to ban this board and prohibit discussion of FTA! Old phrase, keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer. From what I've been able to find, it is only available on Arabsat 2B, it got yanked from Hispsat, etc. Seems like everyone "flipped out" at the prospect of it being received here in the states and stopped it.
