Pakistan?

I wonder if the American government will ever be able to summon the courage to face the cablegate leaks with the same type of aplomb shown by nations that truly embrace free speech.

Nations like ..wait. What? Oh come on, really? Pakistan? You’ve got to be kidding me.

From Pakistan’s Lahore High Court ruling on whether or not to ban the Wikileaks site:

We must bear the truth, no matter how harmful it is.

When a country like Pakistan holds the moral high ground on America, you have to ask yourself: Just how far from our ideals have we strayed?
