It looks like they were blocked in the USA (or else suffered reallly badly from hacking) and have maybe re-established the service in the Land of Freedom. aljazeera.net, www.aljazeera.net, and english.aljazeera.net all give me 213.30.180.219 I can browse it, it gives me a page in Arabic, which is not one of my language. The source code & URLs are in Latin script of course so I can just about navigate. http://www.aljazeera.net/Cartoons/index.asp?cu_NO=1&Temp_id=197 has some cartoons which are quite good Take a look at http://www.aljazeera.net/Cartoons/index.asp?cu_NO=1&Temp_ID=197&Index=3 I do not think any COW-friendly hackers would be publishing it - it shows some starving kids hoping that the invaders are bringing them food but getting blown apart by a bomb. I think they may be being hosted in France: Traceroute, once I get beyond the UK academic network, shows: 7 <10 ms <10 ms <10 ms gi2-0.linx-gw1.ja.net [146.97.35.126] 8 <10 ms <10 ms <10 ms ldn-b1-geth14-1.telia.net [195.66.224.97] 9 <10 ms <10 ms <10 ms ldn-bb2-pos1-2-0.telia.net [213.248.74.13] 10 <10 ms 10 ms 10 ms prs-bb2-pos1-1-0.telia.net [213.248.64.166] 11 <10 ms 10 ms 10 ms prs-b3-pos5-1.telia.net [213.248.65.66] 12 40 ms 300 ms 351 ms competel-01748-prs-b3.c.telia.net [213.248.71.10] 13 30 ms 30 ms 30 ms 213.30.128.94 14 * * * Request timed out.
