JOURNALISTS NEEDED TO STOP YOUTUBE CENSORSHIP

I'm just passing this on after I received it in my mail box. I would love to do something like this, but I am trying to keep from being homeless and finding a job. I do have a journalism degree from Washington State University, but frustratingly not in position to help.


You remember the one about how they came for some others, and when it
came time for me there was nobody else left to do anything about it?

As a reader of these alerts you probably know by now that YouTube has
censored, and for the most flimsy of reasons, the waterboarding scene
from "The Last War Crime", the new feature film about indicting
Cheney for torture. This is shout out to all journalist/bloggers to
write articles about this growing scandal, like Deborah Dupre, human
rights correspondent for Examiner.com just did. Please read her
article.

We need as many other journalists as possible to do the same thing.
Please call YouTube at 650-253-0000 and tell them the publications
you write for. Tell them you are calling for comments on their
censorship of the waterboarding scene from "The Last War Crime". And
then help fan the fire by reporting the truth about what they are
doing. Email us back and we'll give you an interview and provide any
additional information you need.

We have already had more than 5,000 submissions on the action page to
send direct protests to YouTube. We had to build our own video server
to do it, but on this same action page you can now see the clip
again.

Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/youtube_protest.php

So everybody else, please help keep the heat on yourselves by
submitting this page to send you own personal message of protest to
YouTube.

they get their rocks off by watching torture then. Saving it for their private collection I guess.
