Don't jeer Aljazeera

Ocasionally, in my posts, I cite Aljazeera, the Administration-maligned Middle East news agency that carries stories not commonly reported in the US. According to the Pacific Views blog, the NYT has presented a balanced article about Aljazeera dispatches, which emboldens me to point to this story about the Shia clerics' reaction to Bremer's threat to veto the general law if it contains a clause that enshrines Islam in the constitution. Suffice to say, they're not pleased.
