Censoring Malaysian Bloggers
Let's hope Dick Cheney and Alberto Gonzales won't find inspiration in Malaysia's threat to use anti-terrorism laws to censor bloggers who insult the Malaysian government.
The move comes as one of Malaysia's leading online commentators has been questioned by police following a complaint by the main governing party. The new rules would allow a suspect to be detained indefinitely, without being charged or put on trial.
Sound familiar? Malaysian double-speak is reminiscent of the nonsense we hear from the American right.
[O]fficials insist the law is not intended to strangle internet freedom.
No, the law is intended to strangle dissent.
