Aarrgghh! This is a great article. It has history, facts (yes Ahmed, facts), and it is written well. Only one thing. al Jazeera is like this. Unless of course you are speaking of another paper in which case…nevermind. :)

You could post this over at our site. Don’t ever think your articles are too long or not interesting. They are just right! ^_^

Well, Ahmed, perhaps the statement was true at the time it was issued which was the first day or, since I havent seen any footage in the US, perhaps only some were prohibited. I think we both know Yemen is neither reforming nor a democracy. The Yemeni journalists that arouse my suspicion are the few that attempt to promote this fiction. But thanks for the video. I appreciate it.

I don’t doubt you’re good intention to help Yemen, However, the above proves that not every thing attributed to Yemeni Journalists is 100 credible, many have agendas (internal politics) and they use foreign news outlets and journalists as proxies. Jane, Help fight the good fight for Yemen’s democracy but please don’t harm Yemen in the process.
