We're Sixth!

The US is tied with Myanmar in 6th place among countries jailing journalists. We have 5 journalists behind jails. None are American or in US jails.....

The United States is holding four Iraqi journalists in detention centers in Iraq and one Sudanese, a cameraman who works for Al Jazeera, at the United States Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. None of the five have been charged with a specific crime.

If those Iraqi journos stop taking our payola and really get on our nerves maybe we'll move up the list next year.....

1. China.............32 journalists
2. Cuba..............24
   
3. Eritrea..........15
4. Ethiopia........13
5. Uzbekistan.....6

Alas Judy Miller doesn't count as she was not in jail at time the survey was taken. Maybe next year Judy? Oh that's right you don't have a job.
