Dutch, French and European Internet freedom hypocrisy
During the past year the Dutch and French governments made nice sounding statements on "Internet freedom" and the Dutch government put out the notion that "freedom of expression applies everywhere," in reference to the Internet.But - the actions that especially the Dutch, Swedish and French governments took to squash Wikileaks and its supporters from free expression on the Internet should tell us that, when it comes to obsessive American interests in the phony "war on terror," there are actually limits on our Internet freedom in the West.It becomes painfully obvious that Western nations use "Internet free expression" as a rock to toss at America's enemies, at the same time creating politically correct human rights heroes, like Liu Xiaobo.Well - we should pick up those rocks and throw them right back at Western governments seeking to squash Wikileaks and supporters free expression.We are all at risk here in the West, with behavior displayed by the US, Swedish, French and Dutch governments!
