To play devil’s advocate, though, I do wonder what the exact rationale was for this. Was Al Jazeera engaged in legitimate espionage, using their news organization as a front?
Even then, it’s a broadcast that Al Jazeera could just go view somewhere else and get the same info. Its a very thin excuse, and I think it just is what it is at face value. A poor justification for limiting coverage of the the war

If I understand you correctly, you seem to be conflating the two quotes; however, they are both referring to different (and, as far as I am aware, unconnected) events. The raid on Al Jazeera happened prior to what was done to AP, and, afaik, has no connection to the stream that AP was hosting.
