Blog freedom under assault in Cuba

My thoughts today are with Yoani Sanchez and Claudia Cadelo, Cuban bloggers who, according to the Cuban government, have "crossed the limits of tolerance." We often take for granted than the freedom to blog, sadly, is not universal and is under assault in many parts of the world.

From today's Wall Street Journal:

On Thursday, Cuban blogger Claudia Cadelo, was summoned to appear at the Interior Ministry, which is in charge of domestic security. A day earlier, Yoani Sanchez, the nation's most prominent blogger, was told by authorities that her activities had "crossed the limits of tolerance," and was told she couldn't hold a planned meeting this Saturday of local bloggers, according to Ms. Sanchez.
