I'll second that nomination!

Facebook closed on profile of terrorist

VICTORIA Police has been refused access to a self-proclaimed terrorist's personal Facebook details after the social networking website demanded more information about an international counter-terrorism investigation into its member.

Counter-terrorism agents were asked to supply more details about a death threat made via Facebook against a Melbourne Jewish woman and her family by an alleged member of the Iranian-backed terror group Hezbollah.

Freedom of speech organization takes on cause

A U.S. freedom of speech organization is crying foul, charging Lake Superior State University unfairly ordered a sociology professor to take down cartoons on Islamic terrorism and other politically-charged materials from his office door.

Foundation for Individual Rights in Education says an anonymous complaint led the Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. school to demand in March, 2007 that Prof. Richard Crandall take down a number of materials adorning his office door.

FIRE says the materials in question include cartoons and other materials pertaining to Islamic terrorism, gun control, abortion, presidential politics and the war in Iraq. One poster from Crandall's door advertises a "Notice of the weekly meeting of the white, male, heterosexual faculty and staff association."

I’m glad F.I.R.E is involved.
