US Blasts Myanmar for Silencing Internet
The irony, from the Master of Domination. Really they should take a page from the Bush White House and weigh the merits of churning out propaganda and spying on citizens. That can be a sufficiently effective way to squelch dissent. Get some judges to rewrite the laws on torture and enemies, voila, it's not an abuse or limitation of freedoms, it's a price for security in what is an endless "Post 9/11 World"; the mantra's effective for spending too.

I was wondering how long it would take people to find a way to spin this in a way that would shift the focus away from the events in Myanmar-- and instead avoid the relevant issues by discussing Bush. Well-- you didn't disappoint!
