Freedom of speech?
Al Jazeera's web site (
http://www.aljazeera.net/) has allegedly been repeatedly hacked, making the site unavailable.
ZdNet has the story at
http://www.zdnet.com.au/newstech/security/story/0,2000024985,20273183,00.htm. The station has called on the US to ensure a free press after Al Jazeera reporters were ordered off the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
Yahoo! News has that story. It's at
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=599&ncid=762&e=9&u=/nm/20030326/media_nm/iraq_aljazeera_dc. Seems like many people are not willing to allow the Al Jazeera message to emerge online. The English version of the site at
http://english.aljazeera.net/ is flashing a
Temporary Site message, so they obviously feel shaky.
