Dear All,

I took a break from watching hurricane Frances and stumbled upon this
program. It was very interesting. I feel it is well worth an hour our time,
and it can be watched via the internet.

I hope everyone is well and prepared for the storm (those of us that live in
Florida).

Namaste,
Judy

Mosaic Special: Election 2004 - The Middle East Factor
Length: 01:00 Type of program: Current Affairs
The latest Mosaic Special Report, ELECTION 2004: THE MIDDLE EAST FACTOR,
examines how the war in Iraq is changing the course of the 2004 Presidential
Election. Polls show that for the first time in more than twenty years,
voters consider U.S. foreign policy to be the most important factor in
November. What was once a referendum on jobs and health care has now become,
to a great extent, a question for voters of Â?Who can keep us safer?Â? How is
each candidate shifting in response to the Iraq war and terrorism? Can the
Arab media alter these elections by providing open airways to terrorists?
And what about the shadow players, Al Qaeda and the Iraqi insurgents--how
would a major strike against Americans change the course of our presidency?
To answer these questions, we bring together top journalists with
on-the-ground experience in the Middle East. They analyze news reports from
Arabic language news stationsÂ?from Al Jazeera Television to the
Hezbollah-backed Al Manar TVÂ?to show you how 300 million viewers in the
Middle East are watching and reacting to the U.S. presidential elections.
ELECTION 2004: THE MIDDLE EAST FACTOR brings you images and information you
Â?ll find nowhere else on U.S. airwaves. Moderated by journalist Wendy
Hanamura.
GUESTS:
HAFEZ AL-MIRAZI, Washington bureau chief for Al Jazeera Television & host of
the weekly show, Â?From Washington,Â? highlighting U.S. positions for Arab
audiences.
MARK DANNER, staff writer for The New Yorker, Professor of Journalism at the
University of California at Berkeley. He also writes extensively about Iraq
for The New York Review of Books.
JAMAL DAJANI, Director of Middle Eastern Programming for LinkTV and producer
of the daily news show, Mosaic: World News from the Middle East.
