[Jeffrey A. Williams]

All,

  What does this say for a Internet Bill of Rights?  Well, it says
that we have another formidable obstacle to overcome..

See:
"A Turkish court has

blocked access to the popular blog hosting service Blogger
(Blogger.com and Blogspot.com, owned by Google), since Friday,
October 24th, 2008. According to BasBasBas.com, a Dutch blogger
based in Istanbul, who alerted readers about the issue: 'It is suspected

that the reason for this has something to do with Adnan Oktar, by
some considered the leading Muslim advocate for creationism, who has
in the past managed to get Wordpress, Google Groups, as well as
Richard Dawkins' website [banned].'"
