I have thought about this too - unfortunately I think it will be
difficult to get the site while it is being attacked/slashdotted.
Ideally, if we could get someone at Al Jazeera to publish it such that
publishing continues even if their WWW site goes offline, *that* would
be cool. Anyone got an email address or phone number?
Rather a severe attack when even the nameservers can't be reached.
I couldn't find any contact info for any of their Middle Eastern
offices, but did make contact with their Washington office, and sent
them an email telling them about Freenet's resistance to censorship, and
offering to mirror their site(s) into Freenet.
Phone number (Wash DC): 202-393-1333
Their main email address is being DDoSed, but I feel it would be ok to
post here an address of one of their journalists (assuming that nobody
in the Freenet community would have any desire to spam or DDoS him):
His email is [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If there's anyone in the Arab world, or otherwise in a position to

the worth of Freenet and mirror this site into a freesite.
AlJazeera is presently under attack, and there's no reason to expect
that further attacks won't follow.
I had my first glimpse of this site 2 days ago before the attacks
started. From what I can see, it offers a refreshingly unique
perspective on the whole Iraq deal.
No, it's not a sabre-rattling jihad-chanting organ of muslim propaganda.
The AlJazeera news organisation seems to be making a genuine sincere
effort to adopt a truly neutral and objective position.
At this time, it's vital that the world internet population have access
to a diversity of points of view on the current Iraq situation. There
are some who believe that the present practice of 'embedding'
journalists in fighting units (and under rule of command) may be
compromising the objectivity of news coverage. This concern may not be
without merit.
So here's an opportunity to prove that Freenet is not just a naughty
dark hidey hole for late night one-handed typing.
If I had reliable access to the website, I'd be inserting a freesite
myself.
So if you can get english.aljazeera.net, how about mirroring it into a
freesite and getting the word out.
