Perhaps the truth will come out in a decade...Bush certainly -- in leaked memos on conversations with Blair -- expressed intent to even bomb Al Jazeera's headquarters.

Democracy Now! reports:

In “The One Percent Doctrine”, investigative journalist Ron Suskind writes: 'On November 13 [2001], a hectic day when Kabul fell to the Northern Alliance and there were celebrations in the streets of the city, a U.S. missile obliterated Al Jazeera's office. Inside the CIA and White House there was satisfaction that a message had been sent to Al Jazeera.' In an interview with CNN, Suskind said government sources had told him there was “great anger” within the Bush administration over Al Jazeera’s coverage of the invasion of Afghanistan. He added: “I'll tell you emphatically it was a deliberate act by the U.S.”
