Al-Jazeera
Present and Accounted For
European and Middle Eastern TV viewers learned of American prisoners of war hours before audiences here did. The Arab-language sattelite news network Al Jazeera has been criticized for broadcasting footage of the POWs while American networks declined it. And editorial writers and cartoonists in different parts of the world have vastly different takes on the war in Iraq. UPI's Martin Walker tours the landscape of journalism and opinion on the war. Also on the show: American casualties make headlines but what about Iraqi dead? Also: any volunteers for testing the anthrax vaccine? And: the future of Gulf War Syndrome.
