It seems the Egyptian authorities are investigating how and why al-Jazeera reported a terrorist incident in Sharkia that never occurred. Could al-Jazeera be getting advance notice of attacks from terrorist? That seems to be the question the Egyptian Authorities are trying to answer. The terrorists would like good coverage so tipping a trusted reporter who is sympathetic to your cause makes sense. Egypt is looking into the question of if Hussein Abdel Ghani had advance knowledge of attacks that were to be carried out and was unaware this attack was thwarted or abandoned.
BBC News :The Cairo bureau chief of TV channel al-Jazeera has been arrested by Egyptian police for allegedly spreading false information on the Sinai bombs.
The interior ministry said Hussein Abdel Ghani had falsely reported a blast in eastern Sharkia province.
Mr Abdel Ghani said in a phone call broadcast on the Qatar-based channel he was the victim of "a complete police kidnapping operation - beyond the law".
The interior ministry said the arrest concerned the false reporting of an explosion in Sharkia on Wednesday.
A spokesman said: "[Hussein Abdel Ghani] said there were incidents in Sharkia and nothing happened. He's spreading confusion.
"When he said there was an explosion in Sharkia, leading everyone to ask about it, about something that didn't happen, where did he get that from?"
Indeed where does the number one terrorist propaganda outlet, al-Jazeera, get a lot of things?

If this story is true - then this is a big break. Muslim unity has always been a thin shell (why else the obsessive concern over tiny Israel) - if Al J got caught with their pecker hangin' out then expect some Egyptians to wanna cut it off - its a muslim thing.
See where this goes - if true - Al J will attempt to leave this guy hangin' out to dry.

Yes, all, but al-Jazeera is coming soon to the US, and in an English version with a former US Marine as one of its anchors. Now they can front for the terrorists in the US in English. How democratic of us to let the fox in the hen house.

Ahhhh! Sniff the fresh ambience of cyberspace! Been out of the loop for a few and have some hate mail to catch up on! Let's see what we have in the inbox. Oh! Here's one. One of my avid followers Featherdick wants to know if " Fore! " is all I have to say. I guess " Fore " does leave a lot to the imagination, so I'll try to expand on it:
" Fore! " " When's my next 5-week wartime vacation ? "
" Soon, Mr. President, soon! "
" Good, 'cause I sure need more work with my 9 irons. "
" How am I doing in the polls, not that they mean anything? "
" You are down to 32% approval, Mr. President "
" Better schedule another " feel good " speech! Am I animated enough in my speeches? "
" Yes, just keep grinning like a gargoyle! "

Last gasp,
all that just to shoehorn in the 32% approval rating. You work too hard.

Heh heh... LeisureSuitLarry said "Fore"...heh heh...
Leave it to a leftist puke to totally avoid the topic and just use it as an excuse to petulantly whine about "Bushie"
Well...at least he's able in his consistantcy. Gotta give him that.
I wonder what leftists will whine about when there is more terror here. Instead of actually confronting the terrorists they'll be whining about Republicans.
What tools lefties are.

I do not hate you, I just think you appear stupid. Perhaps, you could write a few lines on your fellow moon god worshippers, or tell us how you dislike false reporting.
I bet you prove I just wasted my time.

Ahhh! Time is never wasted when Last gasp Larry gets his last laugh! Maybe 32% was too liberal, being a cnn poll. Well, I could be more conservative and accept the other 34% or maybe even 38% polls, but I am still laughing all the way to the voting booth!

Fore is what you say when you hit a ball out of the fairway.
I prefer the word mulligan, a re- hit of a bad drive. Sort of like Kerry a year into the war deciding it was really a bad idea after all. DO OVER! Then you can bash the President 24/7.
Being a lib is easy, you just yell Mulligan and say you were right all along. Too bad they keep records on all those votes eh?

I'll hide behind John Kerry!
Any panicky President can push the war button. It's proper follow through that counts.

Where you under the impression that George W. Bush is running for reelection? lol! What a dope you are.

It's okay Carlos, he'll probably vote for the GOP candidate by accident anyway, as liberals are generally too stupid to wipe their own asses without a government program.
