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.
LOL. I have only three. Sigh.

Since he doesn’t appear to be breaking US law, or targeting US citizens, why should his 80+ websites be shut down? Why, once they were shut down, weren’t they released to him to be reactivated on an overseas registrar? How you going to feel when FR gets shut down? Or Drudge, Fox, or anyone else? Heck, even DU?
Think about all the heck over Free Dominion’s problems with the Canadian star chamber? You REALLY want to see that kind of crap happening here? Or can you just not see that far ahead?
