The US State Department proudly proclaims to the world that free speech on the internet is "a basic human right". This in itself surprised me as I had more or less assumed that the Bush administration had given up on the concept of basic human rights (i.e. ones that apply to ALL human beings including those that the US deems "evil doers") in entirety.
I haven't read the fine print of the release but I am sure that somewhere in there you will find a qualifier that suggests that in order to proceed with this concept that obscure and isolated sections of the internets will need to be designated as "free speech zones".
