Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ‘s response to China’s latest campaign of cyber-war intrusion and censorship proved predictably muted. http://mashable.com/2010/01/21/hillary-clinton-google-china/ As the private email accounts of foregn correspondents and individual citizens remain hacked and abused by Beijing’s thought-police, Hillary missed an opportunity to make a call for truth, justice and individual freedom. by attributing responsibility for such a crass violation of personal privacy and free-speech. to the very regime which orders such covert aggression. Instead she allowed Beijing plenty of room for saving face through a timid invitation that China investigate the cyber-attacks on Google. Rather like appealing to the Khymer Rouge to investigate reports of massacres of innocent Cambodians! We surely must ask what response she expects from the communist regime, her hope for transparency and forthrightness seem a little optimistic and naive. Observing Mrs Clinton’s speech brought to mind the question, what would be the tone and content of her comments had it been the Iranian Regime which had assaulted Google? Answers please to the State Department Washington DC.
