The NY Sun reports that al-Jazeera is having trouble attracting sponsors to launch an English-language station in America. This is a test of how foolish and self-destructive America can be. Are we willing to allow a terrorist network masquerading as a news outlet to broadcast to Muslims in America? They need alienate only a small percentage US Muslims (think Chapel Hill last week) to create a pool of potential suicide bombers. This is not the Oxford Union debates. We did not give Axis Sally access to US airwaves in World War II. Nor does former CBS anchor Dave Marash, who would be al-Jazeera's man in America, inspire confidence. Even if, against all odds, the American subsidiary does provide honest news, as al-Jazeera continues to spread lies in the Mideast it must be required to stop lying elsewhere as the price of a ticket to broadcast here. Or will "our values" hand another victory to Islamist terror?
