Oh, wait that's not the one you were looking for; it's much worse; he's being held in a concentration camp; and questioned extensively about his employer...

Oh wait, no that's an Al-Jazeera story about US Border crossings.

So you're right, five minutes of googling didn't turn up stories about Al-Jazeera reporters being held at US Border crossings or denied entry to the US. So it must not have happened ever!



There's no need to be sarcastic about it.

The comment I replied to says that when Al Jazeera reporters try to get into the US they have been questioned harder than actual terror suspects. Do you actually believe that?


That's perfectly believable. You don't want to tip off a terror suspect that he's under suspicion.


If never looked at it this way - its does make sense. However it doesn't explain the treatment of reporters.


Good point.
