I've been exchanging emails with Michael Young of Beirut Calling, who today posts his view on the Al Jazeera flap, mentioned below. Michael Young is a resident of Beirut and a columnist for Lebanon's Daily Star. It's worth reading.

Meanwhile, looks like the Washington Post has picked up the story of the Al Jazeera hack by the so-called "Freedom Cyber Force Militia."

Still "cannot find server" at Al Jazeera's English site.
