Al Jazeera website hacked

by Somewhat Anonymous
The Al Jazeera news websites have been hacked. And I don't think it is a coincidence that suddenly the Google cache of the webpage is gone. There is a solution, though!!! Al Jazeera news files (articles/photos/cartoons, all) can be distributed just like music filesharing, using gtk-gnutella or kazaalite or any other filesharing application. Of course, it will be necessary for these files to be signed for authentication (or else the US government will suddenly start sending fake Al Jazeera files out). We need to start filesharing for press freedom, now!!!!

The Al Jazeera webpages are: http://www.aljazeera.net ,
http://www.al-jazeera.com , and http://english.aljazeera.net .
The webpage 'http://www.aljazeerah.info/' is
NOT the page I'm looking for (it says it is not affiliated with the
television station, and I'm looking for a website affiliated with the tv station). The hacked webpages have been victims of BOTH denial of service attacks, and of redirects.
