Like I say, I don't really recall the issue.

Worth noting that Al Jazeera is owned by members of the royal family of Qatar, and tends to reflect that bias, especially in terms of ripping the Saudis. Not that that de-legitimizes the article necessarily (people constantly attacking sources instead of content annoys me), just worth keeping in mind when looking at their reporting.
