Freedom of speech is limited when it hurts people, such as yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded theater. I think a similar argument could be placed for temporarily limiting Al-Jazeera in this situation. That they're shutting it down for a month is actually pretty encouraging; had Saddam been displeased with the media outlet, the employees and their families would probably have been tortured and executed.
