Net Neutrality--Google--Fairness Doctrine.

Imagine what would have happened to Wikileaks, had it been housed on US based servers.

Prosecuted. One can hope he still will be.

Part of me agrees, in that the US has national security interests. But, it would have a chilling effect on free speech, and in fact, I think this is why Wikileaks went to great pains to put itself in areas difficult to prosecute.

It's like that proposed Mosque near ground zero. There is a legal position, and a morally correct position. Legally, they have the right to buy, and build wherever they like regardless of religious persuasion. Morally, it's as objectionable to many as having Neo-Nazi's building a community center outside Auschwitz. Nazi's and the KKK have the legal right to have their parades down the public streets, but that doesn't mean I have to morally accept them or make it easy for them to spread their bigoted hatred. To many (including me), Islam is a religion that represses (stones) women, and is intolerant to any expression other than itself.
