Al Jazeera in Iraq
From Abu Aardvark:
In an interview with al Arabiya, Iyad Allawi renewed his attack on al Jazeera, claiming that it has continued its activities in Iraqi territory despite the ban imposed on it, and he threatened to take unspecified actions against anyone working for al Jazeera under the provisions of the recently declared martial law.
Al Jazeera responded by again expressing its surprise and dismay that the temporary Iraqi government has failed in its promise to move towards an opening towards and consolidation of the principles of freedom of the media and freedom of expression.
The Bush administration had no comment on the question of media freedoms in Iraq.
