Its possible that the Palestine Hotel killing may have been a mistake.But the Arab TV offices were deliberate.
From what I can gather from sketchy news is that Al Jazera and Abu Dhabi TV were both targeted by bombers .Al Jazeera may have been hit with missles.
They were both Identified as TV offices with large banners visible to aircraft. Both had given their coordinates to central command .Both are located in civilian neighborhoods with no military targets in the vicinity.
Neither Al Jazera or Abu Dhabi TV were able to broadcast live from Bhagdad yesterday or today.

"The US, and the Bush administration in particular, is notwithout regard for
the press or for basic freedoms of any kind."
"No one has at any time targeted any satellite uplinks. The local
TV transmission was targeted. If the US had targeted any satellite uplinks, then they would not be working, but I assure you, feeds from both western
and Arabic news sources were available today."
