They can sound off to the press just like you or anyone can. If Al Jazeera chose to listen to them, perhaps it's a sign that they are becoming aware of their own considerable shortcomings as a purported news organization. Someone has to show them the way, and it doesn't matter if it's western reporters or the State Department. They need help, bad.
