Re: [Biofuel] Google's filtering segue into Iran

[Zeke Yewdall]

I'd like to see that one too -- although I generally boycott debates where Bush is taking part, this would be worth it. I've althought thought that a debate between Bin Laden and Bush would be interesting, but this would be fun too. Actually even without the debate, I'd like to hear his honest opinion on how to end problems in the world -- can't be any worse than BushCo's approach.

Re: [Biofuel] Google's filtering segue into Iran

Dubious indeed.  I tried Apple Pie and immediatly noticed that, while both 
sides were the same set of links, the chinese side had all of their stuff 
encoded with weird characters of little lines in strange shapes.  haha... 

But all jokes aside, this does underscore that the internet is now a comercial 
entity and as such, the highest bidder gets the goods.  Thus, China can pay to 
omit what ever they like... I googled Gao Zhisheng and found sufficient links 
to notice they are not really on the ball with their censoring.  Then I 
searched for china at cnn.com... the first thing I got, ads about visiting 
china, and then some articles about Iran???  this one was quite interesting:

  Almost like filtering in both directions.
