 Another example of censorship is blocking the access to the websites
outside of us for unskewed information. For example, Al Jazeera during the
height of the Iraqi war. (Now the access is "enabled" to the parts not
censored out.)

A friend of mine, Born and bread here in New Orleans, was trying to keep up
with the real information from the region, and was unable to get it directly
from US. He had to go via proxy servers in other countries in order to
access the website.

PS. hmm new word....  I had to look up the word "insidious" from the web....

Censorship is insidious.  There will never be a more clear sign than the
TruthOut case.

Network and software freedom are the only cure.
