Arab network garbles messages from U.S.

Associated Press October 17, 2001

CAIRO, Egypt — President Bush's national security adviser went on Arabic
television hoping to explain U.S.  actions in Afghanistan, but the
influential Al-Jazeera station repeatedly aired only comments likely to
inflame Arab passions. 

The incident underlines the West's difficulties in getting its message
across to the Muslim world: The war against terrorism is not a war
against Islam and Arabs. 

Al-Jazeera, based in Qatar and widely watched in the Middle East and by
Arabic speakers in the United States, has emerged as a key opinion maker
because of its independent editorial policy — a rarity in the region. 
It also has become known for airing taped statements by Osama bin Laden,
the prime suspect in the Sept.  11 attacks on New York and Washington,
and by the spokesman for bin Laden's organization, al-Qaida. 

In her interview with Al-Jazeera on Monday, national security adviser
Condoleezza Rice demanded that the Palestinians halt violence against
Israel and expressed Washington's concerns about Iraqi President Saddam
Hussein.  She also discussed Washington's reasons for its attacks on
Afghanistan and assured Muslims they were not the target of the war on
terrorism. 

Viewers, however, will not see the remarks on Afghanistan and the war on
terror until the full interview is aired, a broadcast that by late
Tuesday had not been firmly scheduled. 

But the comments on the Palestinians and Iraq — all likely to anger
Arabs — were aired more than a dozen times to promote the interview. 

Hamdi Qandil, a veteran Egyptian TV anchor, told The Associated Press,
"America has already lost ... 

before the whole interview is aired."
