If Al-Jazeera is pro-terrorist, why would they advertise Zarqawi being caught?  Wouldn't they want to hush it up?  :confused:

I don't believe Al-Jazeera is "pro-terrorist". I think it is pro Islam to the exclusion of all else. I think that most, if not all on staff probably see Islam as the underdog fighting the good fight against evil. While they may not state publicly that terrorism is acceptable, I think most of them feel, at least secretly, that it is justified. My opinion is based on their reporting.

Al-Jazeera doesn't really do anything that are US newspapers
don't also do, they both report their owners agendas in some fashion...
 The DOD's comments say that this all was a Rumor a few minutes after I read it first, but it will happen soon I will bet..
