Is the government of Jordan* guilty of censorship after seizing an al-Jazeera videotape on which the former Crown Prince and uncle of the current King, Prince Hassan accused the United States and Saudi Arabia of "destructive" policies in the Middle East? According to a government spokesman
:"We cannot afford to have any misinterpretation of Jordan's stand at this delicate stage...Remember, we live in the Middle East where media outlets are sometimes employed to serve political purposes."
Unlike America of course where "news" outlets could never be used for political purposes.
