It's stupid. No, the site should not have been hacked - and while the Al-Jazeera network does slant against the US, they are the best crop of budding Arab journalism - not great, but getting there. and they are a comforting indicator of the West's growing influence in how the Arabs view the world. The whole concept of journalism is a Western idea - and from what I've read some of the guys at Al-Jazeera are trying to do it right.

Trauma-- I like your style. wish I had a way to send a lightning bolt thru the web at hackers.
If you run apache web server, and are tired of your error logs being filled up with Nimba or Code Red attempts, since this worm, won't affect anything but unpatched IIS servers.
Just drop the following in a .htaccess on the root of your server:
redirect /scripts http://127.0.0.1
redirect /MSADC http://127.0.0.1
redirect /c http://127.0.0.1
redirect /d http://127.0.0.1
redirect /_mem_bin http://127.0.0.1
redirect /msadc http://127.0.0.1
RedirectMatch (.*)\cmd.exe$ http://127.0.0.1$1
What this will do, is redirect the Code Red or Nimba worm back at itself. And you won't see errors in your error logs, and will also reduce some of the bandwidth usage, because the Apache server, won't be constantly throwing up 404 error pages.
