Would it be inappropriate to send email to al Jazeera newspaper ?
http://english.aljazeera.net/HomePage

on the feedback section:

Would it be inappropriate to say that we are as hurt and sick by the actions in the prison as are some Iraqis? Would it be inapropriate to ask them to search their souls for forgiveness? That we know they are an old and wise people and that they do have friends in America. And we are sorry for whatever crimes were committed by our young soldiers?

1. You will most likely invite the scrutiny
of the CIA, FBI, and the rest of the alphabet agencies upon yourself.

2. I would be very wary. Really I would.
You could bring a whole can of trouble down on your head. I am just hopeful that the protesters are seen and that the uproar is heard the world over...

4. freedom of speech dude, freedom of speech
takes courage to speak up. i think i would clarify and talk about the extremism on both sides and how the moderates in both the christian and the muslim religion have to reach out between each of us to unite and defeat the fundamentalist that have hi jacked our religions

the muslim is not innocent in the scheme of things. but i am a strong believer the last three years of bush and his arrogance they may not see that there are way more moderates in this country. i too have felt the need to talk to those in iraq. just to say we can be a better people than what we are and i am sorry for this.

you feel the need to go for it. i will help you defend yourself if they come and take you away, grinnin.

share though whatever you do

hey btw i havent had the courage to speak out here in town. husband owning a business and such a small place, so many knows us, would be the end of the business i am just sure. so.........

5. This sucks!
We're AMERICANS and we are afraid to speak our minds and our hearts! I started to write a letter and then thought better of it ... or worse. Have I become a coward? I have a family ... What has become of us? Are we so diminished that we cannot act and speak as Americans?

Are we really now living under the yoke tyranny? It feels like we are ...
