Egypt Shuts Down Al-Jazeera Operations
The Guardian
By Ian Black
Egypt today shut down the operations of the Arabic satellite TV channel al-Jazeera, blaming it for encouraging the country’s uprising – and demonstrating that the repressive powers of central government are still functioning.
The state-run Mena news agency reported that the information ministry had ordered “suspension of operations of al-Jazeera, cancelling of its licences and withdrawing accreditation to all its staff, as of today”.
The Egyptian government has never made a secret of its dislike for the channel, but the final straw may have been an interview it broadcast yesterday with the popular cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who called on the Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, to leave the country immediately.

yes, they should have allowed george Soros full access to their internet, so that he could pull another colour revolution like Ukraine, Georgia, Serbia, and attempted in Iran. Then the people of Egypt could have been raped and pillaged by a Master Rapist, couldn’t they?
I wish to god Americans wouldn’t treat British newspapers like they’re anything other than mouthpieces of MI6, which works with MOSSAD and the CIA, who all work for the bloody Vatican. The Guardian is the paper whose paradignm is left liberal, to balance the right conservative Telegraph.
