O Freedom.....

Freedom is to do everything you want, including the right for not to do anything. I think I have enjoyed quite a lot for not doing anything, reading old newspapers, magazines, spending my time with my notebook, listening to radio and so so.......I would struggle to make my works start again, and work harder for quite a lot of things...

This point of time, I am viewing a TV programme about Al Jazeerra, a television station from the Arabian Peninsula, and its stories in reporting during the invasion of Iraq by the joint force of Uniter Kingdom and United States. Frankly, I am quite interested to work for Al Jazeera as I think it would be a very adventerous experience to work with a station that can provide so many exclusive reports on places that the part of the world are unfamiliar with, while this part of the world has been so important to the political changes and struggles. Of course I know it would be quite impossible for me to join them, as I know nothing about Arabic, and I think I would not be able to master the language just for the sake for taking a job. And working for a rather independent, as well as being so capable in bringing a lot news update, not scared by anybody for their threats to ban the reportings by the station.

Of course, a similar incident took place in Britain recently, about the same invasion, but from another point. Some BBC reporters said that the British Government had been fabricating materials in order to persuade the British parliament as well as the public to support the decision to invade Iraq. But it was unfortunate for the British Government to have this being discovered by BBC, and the station quarreled with the Prime Minister's Office over this point. It would be a bold move to make, but as long as the reporters are doing their job, we should offer them support, so that we would not blocking our way to know things from another poinr of view.

All these already add up to my interests on journalism.....
