KADDAFY IN LIBYA JAMMING AL JAZEERA SIGNAL

Al Jazeera, whose coverage of the regional political unrest has been widely watched in the Arab world, first reported jamming on Friday and said its website had been blocked in Libya.

"We believe that whoever is doing this is operating with sophisticated and large equipment," an Al Jazeera spokesman said in a statement.

In Beirut, Lebanese Telecommunications Minister Charbel Nahhas said the jamming "originated from Libyan territory" and it was also affecting Lebanese channels.

"They (Libyans) see what these televisions carry about what is happening in their country and they jam the transmission points ... so Al Jazeera is affected and we are affected too," Nahhas told Reuters.

... Earlier this month, Egypt's Nilesat cut off Al Jazeera's signal for more than a week after authorities there ordered it to stop operations in Egypt during the unrest that ultimately ended President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule.

ALL TYRANNIES NEED TO CONTROL THE NEWS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OVER THE PEOPLE. (THEY DO THIS IN CHINA, TOO.)

TYRANTS ALSO NOW KNOW THAT INTERNET FREEDOM LEADS TO CIVIL FREEDOM WORLDWIDE.

ONLY TYRANTS CAN LIMIT OUR INNATE FREEDOMS - AND ALL TYRANTS ARE EITHER LEFTISTS, ISLAMISTS - OR BOTH.

THEREFORE, IN ADDITION TO ATTACKING TYRANTS, WE NEED TO ATTACK BOTH OF THESE HIDEOUS IDEOLOGIES.
