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. Posted by journoz at March 27, 2003 09:00 AM
