I think most of you are missing a key point. Google stands up to U.S. government because the company thinks it can win base on U.S. law. Google didn't stand up to Chinese Government because there is "no law" in China. Google shouldn' have given us the line that they must obey local law. The chinese government doesn't follow their own consitution which will have protect freedom of speech. If Google really want to fight, they can take the chinese government to the chinese court and make a statement. But they didn't. Not because the local law forces them to because they know they can't win in a legal system that doesn't follow their own law. In other words, Google has no balls like any other business entities in the world. They only stand up only if they think they can win.
Our government is incapable of covering anything up. Otherwise, there would be WMD in Iraq (how hard is it to plant WMD in Iraq?) and there wouldn't be any leak on the domestic spying programming in the news. The government couldn't even stop leak from a highly classified program in NSA. Why do you think they are capable of covering up a 911 conspiracy?

I heard a Korean university scientist has successfully cloned Linux using human stem cell.
