I guess domain registrars will be fleeing the country soon.

And people want to give even MORE authority to FedGov... Amazing!

Curiously, the Treasury Department has not shut down all of Mr. Marshall’s .com sites. You can still find, for now, www.cuba-guantanamo.com.

Am I missing something here? I'm definately not missing the whining "visiting professor", and I'm not missing the New York Times blathering on something about which it has no clue.

What I *am* missing:

1. The guy's American domain registrar pulled the plug on his names. Why couldn't he just use an overseas registrar?

2. The guy's American domain registrar did NOT shutdown his sites in response to a Treasury Dept. request. Rather somebody pointed them toward a list on a blog so they shut them down. Why?

3. Since when is shutting down a website denying this FOREIGNER free speech? He had all the free speech he wanted. He had 80+ domain names. Just think; there are starving people in India that don't even have a single domain name. Surely the NYT could have printed a more interesting story using that angle.

Hmmmm....

So all I have to do is post on my blog a list of sites I don’t like claiming they are on a Federal watch list and they’ll get shut down?

Hmmmm...

I’ll see you guys later. I have the urge to make a blog post.

“a lawyer with Proskauer Rose in New York, said the Treasury Department might have gone too far in Mr. Marshall’s case.”

What, the Imperial US government go to far; tell me it ain't so! Time to take 99.99% of those bureaucrats in DC , give them a gun and stand them on the border so at least they do something useful. (The guns are for show; give them bullets and they're libel to shoot a US citizen or themselves.)
