Welcome, Danny Schechter readers, who may be looking for my blog item on an important Internet freedom-of-speech issue that we were confronted with during our time in Kazakhstan at the Eurasian Media Forum. The News Dissector, ever more diligent than I am, has already weighed in. I expect to have something up tomorrow morning.

I don’t know, and I haven’t seen the Borat movie, but I would be willing to bet that allowing freedom of speech and freedom of religious practice would help give Kazakhstan a positive and sophisticated image abroad, if that’s a consideration.
Dan, News Dissector link isn’t working :( Just FYI.
