Al-Jazeera for kids!

Well, this is welcome news! Al-Jazeera is starting up a kids network.

Al Jazeera claims an audience of roughly 40 million and as much as 75 percent of the Arabic-language satellite-TV network in some countries. That's far ahead of the Dubai-based al Arabiya and the U.S. government-owned al Hurra station.

Al Jazeera Live, a sort of Arabic version of C-SPAN, is being launched this month, and a documentary channel is in the works.

Miles said the network, which became known for its coverage of Afghanistan and Iraq, had mellowed, at least a bit. Debate shows used to be little more than shouting matches, and telephone callers spouting Arab conspiracy theories - such as one claiming that no Jews died in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks - were allowed to ramble. No more.

Not much detail on the new network for kids....however, if you want to see conspiracy theories, just go to their web site - where they have a special section.
