Its not as if this was some landmark human rights case where the rights of 'journalists' was on the line. It was more of a strict scolding from Big Brother on the little one getting out of line. "Didn't delete the post? Make that a option next time. Leaked the memo? Bad Boy! 2 spanks on the butt" <br /><br />While I'm not downplaying the importance all this holds, but you really can't hinge rights, principles & laws on majorly (kinda) impromptu trials, sporadic trial sessions and vague ambiguous laws that are open to interpretation both ways. Obviously Big Brother is going to get the final say.<br /><br />Of course, it would have been landmark & groundbreaking if we knew that no matter what Big Brother's preferences, if the verdict based on facts was pointing against BB, it would be announced and the case decided as such.<br /><br /><A HREF="http://farkknight.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/omani-blogger-trial-verdict/" REL="nofollow">(more...=)</A>-<A HREF="http://farkknight.wordpress.com" REL="nofollow">TFK</A>(/blatant advertising:p)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283845125208268798.post-46678783217877726392009-04-23T00:10:00.000+04:002009-04-23T00:10:00.000+04:00Words fail to describe how dissapointed I am with ...Words fail to describe how dissapointed I am with the government, and the MOI in particular, with this case.

No information in local papers, some mistakes in regional (Arabic) papers, and a bunch of mistakes in international (western)papers. Our information machine is fueled by rumors, everyone has their own version of the 'truth'.
