Cartoon in this week's edition of al-Sabeel, the Islamist weekly in Jordan.
The images are self-explanatory - the American soldier is replacing his clip of bullets with a clip labelled "al-Hurra", while an ordinary Arab family is "banned." Not sure what prompted the cartoon, or if it is trying to say anything more than "al-Hurra is an American weapon" (with which even al-Hurra's producers would probably agree). I reproduce it here only because it's a striking image, and because it's so rare that al-Hurra is even mentioned in the Arab press that it seemed worth highlighting.
