Here is the link: atimes.com Here is the quote: "It all started on July 12 when Israel troops were ambushed on Lebanon's side of the border with Israel. Hezbollah, which commands the Lebanese south, immediately seized on their crossing. They arrested two Israeli soldiers, killed eight Israelis and wounded over 20 in attacks inside Israeli territory."

India Joins China in Censoring Websites I do not think that is factual. My understanding is that a guerilla force crossed over into Isreal. At least that is how the incident was reported. While I take no side on this particular incident and how it was reported I am ashamed by the lack of REALITY our big media reports. The way saddam was made to look to be CAPTURED by american forces - pure theater. The middle eastern woman hugging an american woman during bush's state of the union - pure theater (she wasn't asked back the next year - she said bush was a failure in Iraq) The lies told day after day by commentators on CNBC. I have lost a lot of respect for the big media all over the globe - folks like mish are not nearly as beholden to large corporate interests as the big media - like that movie "the insider" - and look what hits slashdot today: yro.slashdot.org India Joins China in Censoring Websites Posted by timothy on Monday July 17, @02:22PM from the keeping-up-with-the-wangs dept. cpatil writes "On the directions of the government of India, Indian ISPs have started censoring and blocking web properties. This was first noticed by Indian bloggers and upon inquiring with their respective ISPs, the actions are confirmed. Unfortunately, Blogspot and TypePad are the targets till now." There's an ongoing discussion of the censorship on GoogleGroups. The rediff.com coverage linked above indicates that the blocking is based on a list issued by India's Department of Telecommunications.
