I've decided, like you, to stay open with my blog, but all my Iranian friends think I'm mad writing those things in my site - and they're not even that revolutionary! Cheers, mac My solidarity from Iran, a country that sees dozens of bloggers arrested or forced to emigrate every month.

Wow, I need a job like that. Sensitivity is usually a good thing, but that means sensitivity to others, not boo-hooing because someone didn't think you were doing your job. Free speech seems to be under attack everywhere. Are the ones in power that afraid? People have been removed from rallies where President Bush is appearing for wearing T-shirts critical of him. T-shirts? Blogs? Those are just the opinions of the writers and wearers. They have simply had the courage (or outrage) to put their opinions in writing.
