"Before I said yes, the key thing for me, obviously, was just to check out Al Jazeera with senior people in the government in London and Washington and senior Jewish friends, and seeing if in particular there was no link between Al Jazeera and Al-Qaida.

Someone should tell Cheney and Bush before they blow up any more Al Jazeerea stations or kill any more of their reporters.
