It's particularly funny when you consider that the main justification for suppression is that insurgents (or rebels or freedom fighters or ...) kill people. Something along the lines of "We don't suppress unpopular views; we're just protecting our citizens". Now, it seems to me that that having a web page is a decidely non-lethal thing. <g> OTOH, it's probably more effective at getting the outside world to find out what's happening.

Algeria & Censorship

While I agree with the Algerian military in preventing an Islamic Fundamentalist takeover (it's one of my examples of situations in which democracy goes wrong), I definitely don't support many of their other actions.

They're recycling an old USA Today piece. Turns out that figure was extrapolated by an internal investigation team trying to break into unclassified/non-secure systems. They just took the success rate for thier attacks and multiplied it by an arbitrary number to come up with an "annual" rate, according to the USA Today article.

How about "The LEAs put more effort into solving cases which can get a political benefit than ones that don't"? Given limited police resources (fortunately), they've got to prioritize somehow... and given politically-appointed higher-ups, some form of concentration on helpful-publicity cases is inevitable. -Allen
