Al-Jazeera's No-Fluff Zone

Good Morning, A few new items...

• Curious about al-Jazeera's English service but unable, in the United States, to watch it on your local cable or satellite provider? Pull up a chair. Here's what it's like, and why it's the most relevant all-news channel on the air (when you can get it). See Pierre's Tuesday column, "Watching al-Jazeera..."
  

• Lebanon is unraveling, thanks to Hezbollah and the Lebanese gift for disunity. But this latest collapse had plenty of help. See "Israel and America's Blooming Blunders..."
  

• Maureen Dowd interviews Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert in Rolling Stone. Worth the cover price? Not quite. Stick to the summary: "Maureen's Colbert & Stewart Routine..."

As always, plenty more in the Daily Journal. Thanks for reading (and welcome, new subscribers).pt
