The Committee to Protect Bloggers points out that in the last week, totalitarian regimes have been arresting and threatening numerous bloggers:
Malaysian blogger Jeff Ooi questioned by police.
Iranian blogger Nasjeh Omidparvar arrested.
Omidparvar, who is pregnant, is the wife of recently convicted blogger Mohamad Reza Nasab Abholahi.
This is the down side of the recent media focus on blogging; the repressive theocrats and dictators of the world also read our media. They perceive a threat to their control of information, and they’re reacting the way these atavistic monsters always do—by attempting to crush the threat at its source.
But this time, they’re going to fail.
