Yes, are worse countries, but the U.S claim to be pro free speech, land of the free and all that. The reactions from cablegate speak a very different language.

The irony that this announcement happens right now is beyond belief!
EDIT: Fix some stupid typos
- abyssknight 16y agoWhat reactions? I don't follow. What has the U.S. unilaterally done? The U.S. doesn't run Interpol, nor the companies which have been blacklisted by members of the community. Politicians have opinions, and due to free speech they are able to speak them.
- blueben 16y agoEither you are feigning ignorance or you haven't been reading the news for a while. Politicians aren't just exercising free speech. They're exercising political influence to impose censorship, a blatant run-around of first amendment rights. They're also introducing obviously unconstitutional legislation and calling for assassination from their office.
