Bloggers UnitedIf you've followed the blog of Diary of a Flight Attendant, who used to work for Delta Airlines, but was fired for pictures she posted on her blog... then you know the issues that bloggers can face. Of course most people don't remember that the sorts of things that people go through here in the U.S. don't compare to what people have to go through in other countries. Two Iranian bloggers have been jailed and face harsh sentences, just for maintaining two blogs that don't always reflect well on their country. In a show of solidarity, today is being designated as Free Mojtaba and Arash Day. As a tribute to blogging... do you know of any other campaign that could possibly organize this sort of thing in so quickly? Only on the blogosphere. Thanks to VodkaPundit for the info.
