Gaza: Video from inside

[andygates]

The Israeli operation in Gaza has kept journalists out, resulting in the world mostly getting a picture of a skyline and some kabooms but not much on-the-ground footage.  Al Jazeera (who are shaping as a really serious arabic news agency) already have reporters on the ground, so they have material.  To get that material out, they're sharing the hi-def stuff out under the Creative Commons "attribution" licence (in summary: use this how you like, just give us the byline).  That's a really neat way to get around all that contractual negotiating nonsense and get the massive collateral damage onscreen where it belongs.
