I think it would\'ve been better if they put up something like that picture of Mike Tyson cereal.  Eerios.

But then they would\'ve known Bjorn did it.  Oops, I\'ve said too much already.

It said in the story that they hacked the normal and the american version of the Al Jazeera site.  I\'ve never seen the translated version and can\'t find it.  Anyone know the URL?
