An anonymous source sent me this: ""Hi Asad: Please post this 'from a Middle East-based journalist' and NOT with my
name, thanks. A sign of how AlJazeera English has changed: Before "Operation Cast Lead"
in 2008/09, AJE had two excellent Arabic-speaking reporters (Sherine Tadros and
Ayman Mohyeldin) already in Gaza who were able to cover the three weeks of
horror from the inside while other networks were stuck outside gathered atop a
hill next to cheering Israelis. Now, while Israel is again bombing the shit out
of Gaza who does AJE have? Former CNN correspondent Cal Perry who I don't think
speaks any Arabic and is reporting from ... Jerusalem.""
