...Jazeera's broad mix of views doesn't much bother Washington, except when U.S. interests are perceived to be at immediate risk. In 1998, during a flare-up in tension between Iraq and the U.S., the Pentagon balked at story lines critical of American foreign policy. Washington's complaints went unheeded three years ago, and today, Emir Hamad remains defiant.

It wasn’t a big deal, and the heads of the commission were friendly about it, assuring veterans that it was just a formality. But I didn’t bother answering the questions. I spent the first week of school getting rejected from seminars; I have the Crimson Turkey Shoot to look forward to in November. At this point, I don’t think I want to belong to any more clubs that could reject me as a member...
