"You stated that mild censorship was identical to harsh censorship, a definitively false statement. You then based your question on this false statement." No I didn't. In fact it is you that is pumping up a completely legitimate form of media oversight and equating it to Stalin-ism. You don't want to answer the question because it will expose the extreme nature of your position. As I said; I understand why you would not want to make yourself look foolish by revealing that you hold a similar position to the one you labeled as "Stalinist". So... either you are a Stalinist, or....just trying to score cheap points by exaggerating your claims. Which is it?? Here is your original post so those who care to, can read it for themselves. Speaking of Communists, the Neocons are returning to their roots. They are setting up a Stalinist-style censorship system in Iraq: <<< AP reports on an international shindig of "legal and media experts" meeting in Greece this week to draw up a "regulation book" for Iraqi journalists (but not Western journalists working in Iraq?), and lists key proposals: "Adopt media law with penalties, ranging from public apologies to closure, for defamation, incitement to violence, hate speech. "Set up council to help draw up code of conduct for journalists, resolve complaints against media. "Create commission to regulate media, with authority to allocate radio and TV frequencies, monitor content, hear complaints. Separate board would hear appeals." >>> antiwar.com "
