in Kenya in Africa, so I don't want any confusion here about what's

"For some odd reason, the same people who were so appalled about
government snooping, the USA Patriot Act and other such threats to
civil liberties cheered as the special prosecutor weed-whacked the
press, jailed a reporter and now will send a previously obscure
government official to prison for 30 months."
-Richard Cohen
