Cut-and-run crew wants Google Earth banned

How do you appease terrorists? By citing terrorism as an excuse to ban Google Earth.

No terrorist wants freedom to ring. So when we sacrifice basic liberty, terrorists win.

Anyone who doesn't know this by now has got to have a severe shortage of brain power. Clearly, some people in high places know it, but just don't give a shit.

In a Mumbai courtroom, an attorney argued that Google Earth or any similar service should be banned, claiming Google Earth had aided terrorists in deadly attacks in that city.

Bull. And shit. The terrorists did what they did because they're terrorists. Not because Google Earth "let" them or "made" them.

I didn't know Jack Thompson had moved his law practice to Mumbai after Florida disbarred him.

What's next? Hey, let's ban computers! Let's ban maps! Let's ban breathing! We have to be on the safe side, you know. (That's sarcasm, in case you're wondering.)
