Al-Jazeera Nixes US Mexican Border Documentary

Al-Jazeera has reversed itself and will not produce a documentary that would have functioned as a blueprint for terrorists and illegal aliens to enter the US through Mexico.

WorldNetDaily reported today that, "Al-Jazeera planned to launch the series this week with coverage of a Phoenix rally by the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, a volunteer civilian border-watch group that has attracted international media attention.

Reporter Nasreddine Hssaini, the Washington, D.C.-based Al-Jazeera reporter behind the series, said he wanted to go to Tombstone and interview leaders of the Minutemen and others. But the network canceled the project after Minuteman organizer Chris Simcox refused to cooperate and then notified the Border Patrol and members of the state's congressional delegation about Al-Jazeera's plans.

U.S. Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., noting that Al-Jazeera has been known to broadcast messages from the al-Qaida leadership to terrorist cells around the globe, was among those who expressed outrage about the planned broadcast."

I consider this a victory for WorldNetDaily and bloggers everywhere. Congratulations! I'd say we still ought to keep an eye on Nasreddine Hssaini, if he heads toward the Southwest or Mexico. Full story can be found at link just below.
