While an Iranian blogger (or bloggers) heads for incarceration, VietPundit reports on a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who has just gotten out of a Vietnamese jail after twenty-six years.

    Roger:

    Because of our invovement in the war it is hard for our politicians to say anything about Vietnam but the fact that the rest of the world ignores the naked suppression of free speech in the remaining communist countries of the world is tragic. Because they have no form of free press of their own it is so easy to hide their crushing of the human spirit and the UN is so corrupt that they ignore it also. Keep it up Roger.
