Over The Great Firewall

Found a few sources of ways over the firewall:

https://www.torproject.org/ (downloadable software - instructions available in Chinese)

http://www.internetfreedom.org/ (same)

http://www.anonymouse.org (the old standby)

The fact that China has completely censored the stabbing of Todd Bachman is an excellent example of why it's necessary to fight to get over censorship.

Though China's not the only one guilty of trying to guide its citizens. Freedom House provides an analysis of Press Freedom (http://www.freedomhouse.org/template.cfm?page=251&year=2006 )

This should be considered when examining problems with Olympic reporting or let's say the Georgia-Russia conflict.

Freedom of the press isn't the whole story. Ken Silverstein in Harper's Magazine has an excellent quick point on bias from US media on the issue of Georgia-Russia conflict. (http://harpers.org/subjects/WashingtonBabylon)

Ok, swimming relay. Finally something interesting to watch on the olympics
