Where is Where is Raed?

Where is Where is Raed?

This is disturbing. And the image of the blanked out page, empty except for the word "sorry," is as poignant as poignant gets.

Jim Henley says the brave Iraqi blogger got scared by the high visibility resulting from this Reuters article. That's probably right: if he had been arrested, they probably wouldn't have said "sorry." You'd expect the page to be deleted, or filled with some kind of pro-regime propaganda.

I can't put it any better than Henley: Totalitarianism Sucks.
