India Bans Bloggers

The government of India, the world's largest democracy, has banned selected bloggers for fear of offending Islam. All freedom-loving Indians should protest the loss of their access to information. All Islamist thugs should rejoice for getting another nation to play dead.

I, personally, am pissed.

I'd like to call on those influential media and free speech protectors to issue strong statements condemning the action by the Indian government. As a minimum, Condi Rice, as SecState, should weigh in. Only the most primitive mindset believes a problem goes away by hiding it. India is denying that radical Islam is a problem. It's not the bloggers.
