SAN FRANCISCO - Yahoo Inc. on Tuesday settled a lawsuit with two Chinese journalists who were jailed after the company provided Chinese authorities with information about their online activities.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Now then for the liberals/progressives in the audience here is what a real oppresive regime does to folks who "leak" stories.
Shi Tao, a former writer for the financial publication Contemporary Business News, was jailed under state secrecy laws for allegedly providing state secrets to foreigners.
According to the suit, the other journalist, Wang Xiaoning, was arrested in 2002 after Yahoo HK gave police information linking him to his anonymous e-mails and other political writings he posted online.
So y'all keep on spouting your boilerplate talking points about how repressive the Bush administration is and continue to try and draw non existent parallels to totalatarian regimes, and in the meantime the real communist regimes will continue to show you how it is done. Not that you want to hear or acknowledge such things
