The Smell Of Dubya Democracy

A Kurdish journalist has been sentenced to more than a year in jail for "defaming" the Kurdish leader. What makes this even worse is that he would have been sentenced to more time if he wasn't "educated". Your left your left your left right left.....the sound of freedom coming to a newspaper near you.

(Reuters)"We helped him. We took into consideration that he is an academic and has served in the education field. So we sentenced him to a year and a half. Otherwise we would have sentenced him to five years."
