The al jazeera report on the chicken seem consistent with reports provided
by various coalition forces and their allies.  If anyone chooses to diregard
or disparage the al jazeera report about the chicken crossing incident, they
clearly do so because of pre-existing biases against al jazeera, not because
of the content of this report.

According to my sources at Houston Indymedia, the whole episode sprung from
a carefully planned act of nonviolent civil disobedience involving the
Faluja Autonomous Fowl Collective (FAFC).  Coalition 'authorities' were, of
course, less than sympathetic.  Mike Ruppert (From The Wilderness
Publications, CopVCia.com) has documentation showing conclusively that the
torture and killing of the chicken by US forces was premeditated, and that
reports detailing the incident were intentionally allowed to fall into
public hands in order to send a chilling effect on the entire avian
community of occupied Iraq.  One might conclude that in this regard, al
jazeera may actually be assisting the agenda of the US forces.
