Please read some much more informed commentary on Dave Farber's IP list.
Some that show you a bit more of the picture from both sides.

Truthout is not what I would regard as a good or useful source for this -
there's a very high liberal + anti establishment bias. 

I must admit, nor would I regard anything from moveon.org or the EFF when
taking about the internet as anything other than propaganda ..
