Tech BuzzNew York Times journalist David Rohde was kidnapped by the Taliban 7 months ago, but the story's only just seeing the light of day, following Rohde's daring escape from his captors.
Keeping the story quiet was the result of a collaborative cover-up between The New York Times and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales to make Rohde seem unimportant to his Taliban kidnappers. Meanwhile, Wikipedia's community is pissed. Free Speech debate!

As long as it's done out of ethical decisions rather than mandatory laws, I'm OK with it. Seriously, though… all REALLY bad censorship measurements have good excuses, some even better than this one. You should hear the reasons the Iranian or Chinese governments give you for gagging the press.
Haha screw the 'wikipedia community'..this is when I really hate bloggers. It's a life of someone that doesn't sit on his ass all day like the rest of us.
