I'll let wads answer for himself, but as a brit I also have a keen interest in this sort of thing.

My problem with this sort of thing is simply this - the USA is the single most powerful nation on earth. The founding concept of the constitution and certainly the rationale behind a lot of the recent foreign policy and the war on terror is LIBERTY.

If the nation that behaves as the world's guardian of liberty is in fact censoring the press and controlling information to suit it's own ends then it is massively worrying to the rest of the world.

That's my interest in it, I suspect others have similar interests.



I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
