Block the Offensive Internets
News report states that the Supreme Court has ruled that all websites which display the Danish cartoons should be blocked in Pakistan. The Supreme Court observed that this is a matter for the entire Muslim world and no technical limitations will be accepted as an excuse. I will try to find more sources and update this.

Reminds me of the decisions to ban Salman Rushdie and the secret trade in Satanic Verses [smuggling it in with a War & Peace cover was my favorite].
