I'm just saying.....
Today Al Watan reported that a blogger in Egypt had been pulled from an internet cafe last week and beaten to death by police in the street outside. The police report that he died from asphyxiation as a result of swallowing a bag of heroin just as police entered the cafe. The family dispute this finding.
Today Al Watan reported that four Jordanians have been arrested for postings on Facebook that were deemed slanderous of the government. The postings were not reported.
Today the Kuwait Times reported that a blogger who criticized the Emir was let out of jail on bail because of poor health.
In other news, the Rolling Stone has suddenly developed a journalistic reputation in reporting that some members of the military may not hold the highest regard for the present administration. As a result, the Rolling Stone reporter has kept his job, but McChrystal and his civilian press aid has lost theirs.

You'd better be careful and not ring your distant chimes too loudly in public places!
Don't think that is not on my mind! But please note that I have not criticized the governments, nor have I made any references to the Emir. The Kuwait constitution specifically indicates that one cannot criticize the Emir, and I have been very clear in that post that I have not criticized anybody.
