Russian Police Seize Kasparov

An anonymous reader writes "Russian police seized Garry Kasparov, the Russian chess champion, for staging a political rally against Vladimir Putin. IBM's Deep Blue computer was the first to beat a world champion when it defeated Kasparov, who is one of the strongest players in history." He's also been a giant critic of the Russian administration which is increasingly restricting free speech.

Since slashdot is also against free speech

When it's about
-> violence in muslim holy texts and the violent life of the paedophile prophet
-> the relation (that indeed exists) between violence on tv/video games and violence in real life
-> anything related to bush
-> discussion of the fact that abortion does indeed kill a human being and is thus not a laughing matter
-> science that contradicts global warming (it exists, and like everything in science, the true answer is "we don't know"), or even the science that states that a 6 degree rise in temperature will generate exactly 0 "extra disasters"
-> anything related to the iraq war (e.g. stating that over 95% of the deaths are due to muslims killing other muslims because "they don't believe" would get you modded down)
-> any mentioning of the fact that in order to change things, you HAVE to go out and make it happen, sometimes even with violence
-> any mentioning that it is cowardly in the extreme to "protest bush", who you know won't retaliate, and protesting at a local mosque against the "jihad" in darfur would be the very least that could be expected.

Fox News is not motivated by a political agenda, they are motivated by profit.
If you mischaracterize your enemy then you will never be able to defeat him.
