Update:
As pointed out in the comments to this post. The "mirror" site is not associated with Al Jazeera. Here is the real engish version of Al Jazeera. While I stand by my assessment of the "mirror" site, Al Jazeera (from its headlines) provides a balanced view of the conflict and world events. I should have checked this more carefully before I posted.
Hackers cripple al-Jazeera sites. The site was briefly hijacked by US hackers The websites of the Arabic television news channel Al Jazeera have come under electronic attack from hackers.
Some visitors to the site were diverted to a pornography site, while others found a page with an American flag and the message "Let Freedom Ring".

The efforts that Crusaders are making to shut down the sites just make it obvious that it's important to see what they have to say. If I were the al Jazeera management, I'd be trying to set up mirrors in a wide variety of countries. And I'd be using Mac OS servers!

After looking at the al Jazeera site, the hackers that are bringing down the site are doing a great disservice. This is a yellow journalism site, pure and simple. The focus is on the sensational, show children in pain and show demonic-looking Americans. By hacking the site, they are giving it greater credence.
Let the site publish its drivel and people will quickly realize that it is a no better source of information than Fox or the National Enquirer.
