Let Freedom Ring

Posted by Melissa McEwan at Friday, January 28, 2005
Brilliant at Breakfast points us a Kos diary about the author’s experience participating in an episode of Nightline that was rife with overt and covert censorship. It’s truly chilling. Read it and see if you don’t come away thinking that maybe things are even worse than you thought, if that’s possible.

And Digby has more on our “free” society (referencing this article):
Yeah, it's some kind of a wonderful free society when female interrogators are used as dominatrix whores to humiliate a bunch of unlucky putzes who were sold for 5 grand by an Afghan warlord who's still laughing his ass off at how easy it was to get rid of his hated brother-in-law.
What country do I live in? I don’t even recognize it anymore.
