Al Jazeera: Not Just Journalists Any More

The news of Al Jazeera being pulled aside for suspicion of aiding the enemy has made it to English media... because the crew has been detained for the third time in 24 hours:

Police detained Al Jazeera crew members three times in twenty-four hours, the last being on Monday. The official cause for the brief arrests was suspicions against the crewmembers of reporting on the location of rocket hits in order to assist Hezbollah... On Monday police detained Al Jazeera manager Walid al-Omri for reporting of rocket hits in the Upper Galilee village of Kfar Yasif. Al-Omri was also detained late on Sunday.

This begins to wear thin.
