Fascinating and practical look at the concept and actual execution of censorship. Honestly I can relate quite a bit, having worked in Fortune-level business (with a similar Rule #1 which could be called "Never admit a company weakness") but there must be a lot more fear involved when the basic stakes are as high as the article describes - as in, freedom of movement. I think this type of reporting is helpful. Censored journalists or ones trying to curry favor (Tiger Woods) or ones just being inexcusably lazy or incompetent (Iraq War run-up) aren't really journalists, and that's unfortunate because they do a lot of significant public service.
Censorship, unfortunatey, happens even at the places you wouldn't associate with censorship.
