Police detain Al Jazeera crew members for third time
Police detained Al Jazeera crew members three times in twenty-four hours, the last being on Monday. The official cause for the brief arrests was suspicions against the crewmembers of reporting on the location of rocket hits in order to assist Hezbollah.
Other TV networks, including Israeli news services, made similar reports without suffering from police intervention.
On Monday police detained Al Jazeera manager Walid al-Omri for reporting of rocket hits in the Upper Galilee village of Kfar Yasif. Al-Omri was also detained late on Sunday.
Also on Sunday police detained for questioning Al Jazeera correspondent Elias Karam and the team working with him in Acre. The team was released after an hour of questioning.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
Don’t you just know the NY Times greatly regrets that they were unable to publish that information first. Kick the Al-Jazeera crew members the hell out of Israel and heck out of America too.

Target Al-Jazeera and take them out if any of their reports result in the giving away any positions, do the same for any ‘journalist’. This is as much a war for survival of the United States as it is for Israel, the sooner that sinks into the pacifist dunderheads the better.
Jack your right, it is our battle for survival. I am so glad we are on the same page as Israel. It is a good feeling to be standing tall with them and they with us.
