The hypocrisy is amazing

Because they "incite violence", the US wants Qatar to start placing restrictions on Al Jazeera.

Secretary of State Collin Powell, the outwardly dovish face of the administration, went further and earlier this month formally demanded that visiting Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr al-Thani tighten the screws on the 24-hour network, which is based in his country.

Powell said in statements after meeting al-Thani in Washington that relations between the two countries were being harmed by AlJazeera's coverage.

If "inciting violence" is the Bush administration's standard for censoring the media, then it looks like The New York Times needs to be bombed with Judith Miller hung in the center of Times Square.

Just saying.
