Kuwait Issues Order To Block YouTube 180
Bashar Abdullah writes "Kuwait Ministry of Communications have issued orders to all ISPs to block YouTube, after some offensive videos to Quran and prophet were posted there. YouTube is 15% of Kuwaiti traffic, ranked #3 on Alexa for Kuwait. Funny thing is, those videos they refer to have been removed and I can't reach them anymore."

Joe Lieberman isn't Muslim! (Score:5, Informative)
Joe Lieberman [go.com] and his staff have been actively censoring youtube under the guise of Senate Bill 1959: [govtrack.us] Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 since May. The bill hasn't passed the Senate yet, but it hasn't stopped Lieberman from pressuring google to delete any video and accounts he wants.
This video [youtube.com] describes what is going on pretty well.
This veteran [youtube.com] gives Lieberman a piece of his mind on the issue.
MIT has been trying to track down what videos are being taken down and why.

Lieberman is Independent now, endorses McCain. (Score:1, Informative)
Actually, he's an Independent because they denied him the Democratic endorsement, though they didn't kick him out of the caucus.
Then again, Lieberman has endorsed John McCain and the Democrats like to call him "Traitor Joe" these days, so take your pick.
