[H&F] "On Derakhshan, blogs, and freedom"

[rfmcdonald]

I've a post up and History and Futulity that takes a look at the case of Hossein Derakhshan, an Iranian blogger recently of Toronto sentenced to nearly twenty years of prison in Iran for his opinions. Blogs and social networking generally haven't overthrown the Iranian government, and aren't likely to, but they do create interesting spaces.
