From the article above:

Recipients of this Baathist largesse appeared to include a former managing director of the influential Qatar-based government-subsidized satellite network Al Jazeera, Mohammed Jassem al-Ali. The videotaped meeting between Uday and al-Ali occurred on March 13, 2000, when al-Ali still worked as Al Jazeera's managing director. Their conversation makes clear that this was not their first meeting, but that they had met on prior occasions--and that Al Jazeera had put into effect the directives that Uday had proffered in those previous meetings.

More al-Jazeera dirt, pay offs from Hussein and they assisted OBL and Hussein by being a messenger as well?

The John O'Neill in this story is the FBI John O'Neill, who was killed on 9/11, not the Swift Vets one!

Quote:
The family's lawsuit alleges documents recovered in Iraq show that three employees of the al-Jazeera Arab TV network "received substantial funding from the Iraqi regime in exchange for acting as a liaison between Iraq and al-Qaeda."

"One document reveals that al-Jazeera passed letters from Osama bin Laden to Saddam Hussein," the suit states.

Al-Jazeera has denied aiding bin Laden or his network, although one of its correspondents was recently arrested in Spain on terrorism charges.
