This is one of the reasons that Al-Jazeera is special, other Arab media shall just give up, Al-jazeera they just don’t care.
Although the Aljazeera tapes of the interview with Prince Hassan were confiscates by the Jordanian police but Aljazeera broadcast a special program talking about what was said in the interview.
Prince Hassan is well known Arab intellectual, thinker and an Arab nationalist that is why the US prevented him from succeeding his brother King Hussein
What prince Hassan said?
First– Prince Hassan accused the United States and other Arab states with raising sectarian sedition in the Arab world to rally Sunni Arabs in confrontation with Iran and Hezbollah.
Also he was quoted saying that if this sedition broke out, civil wars in the region will extend for a hundred years. Turning to the role of one of Saudi princes in this regard, [Bandar Bin Sultan, close friend of G. Bush].
Second– Prince Hassan said that the overwhelming majority of Arab leaders are now in orbit of the United States and its policies in the region.
Conclusion
It is not the interview itself but these points are much important:
1– There is mutiny in the Hashemites house against King Abdullah II policies allying with the US.
2– The mutiny is so dangerous that King A. II is spying on his own uncle [the interview took place in prince Hassan’s palace.…bugged???]
King cannot survive without American and Israeli support.

Message to LadyBird: Abu Mohammed is the political spokesman of the Iraqi Ba’ath Party led by Izzat Ibrahim Al-Douri. His real name is Dr. Khudair al-Murshidi and he is a Shia Muslim. He should not be confused with Mohammed Younis Al-Ahmed. The latter currently leads a small breakaway faction of the Iraqi Ba’ath Party sponsored by the Syrian Goverrnment, which put out feelers to Maliki in January, a move which was greeted with disgust by most Iraqi Ba’athists. The Syrians are trying to use their influence over the Younis faction as a bargaining chip with the Americans. For their part, the Americans are delighted to find the Syrians willing accomplices in their attempt to divide and undermine the Iraqi Ba’ath, which they know constitutes the backbone of the Iraqi Resistance.
Thank you Alison for this valuable informations
I had my doubts that he is not Mohammed Younis Al-Ahmed.
