Well, Dave's is in good company, I'd say.
I guess these people don't realize that trying to "control" the Internet is akin to King Canute's vain endeavor:
"Canute is famous for the tale of the incoming tide. According to legend, Canute�s courtiers flattered him into believing that his word was so powerful that even the tide would recede at his command. Canute is said to have taken this compliment literally and had his throne placed by the shore and vainly attempted to command the waves to recede until he almost drowned."
Regards,
John |

None of this comes as a surprise. It's not called the Tragic Kingdom for nothing.

Do you mean that Amnesty was just banned? I am more surprised that it was accessible up until just lately.

I know. The truth doesn't go over well in Saudi Arabia.
Block it, block it, block it...
