"Shut Up, al-Jazeera"

William F. Buckley takes on this disgusting middle eastern television-radio network in his column at NRO.

The money quote:
"The indecision of the U.S. government in facing the aggressions of the
network [al-Jazeera] brilliantly illustrates the special immobilization of liberal reasoning. "Administration officials," reports the New York Times,
"have been nervous to talk about the station, being sensitive to charges
that they are trying to suppress free expression."" (My emphasis).

Mr. Buckley is one of the finest "writers" in the punditry business and if you want to expand your vocabulary, I recommend reading him often. Do you know the work "cavil"? Read this column and you will!
