Al Jazeera, which was recently outed by Israel as having a “journalist” on its staff who is also a Hamas commander, has issued a statement denying the allegations.

�The Network condemns the accusations against its journalists and recalls Israel�s long record of lies and fabrication of evidence through which it seeks to hide its heinous crimes,� Al Jazeera said in a statement that might as well have been written by Hamas itself.

�At a time when its correspondents and field crews are making great sacrifices to cover what is happening in Gaza, Al Jazeera�s employment policies stipulate that employees are not to engage in any political affiliations that may affect their professionalism, and to adhere to the controls and directives contained in the Network�s code of ethics and code of conduct,� Al Jazeera added.

�Al Jazeera ensures that all its journalists and correspondents adhere to the editorial standards.�

Of course it does. Except for the employee here and there (and there and there) who happen to be terrorists.
