YouTube what we say you tube

While critics of Islam are silenced on YouTube, as I've reported here, Iraqi insurgents are allowed to distribute their own propaganda, as The Jerusalem Post reports:

Now on YouTube: Iraqi insurgent propaganda
Iraqi insurgents are increasingly distributing their propaganda movies and violence footage not through fringe, hard-to-find Web sites, but by uploading them directly to popular video sharing sites such as YouTube.

Many of the videos have been seen by tens of thousands of viewers, and some by hundreds of thousands, on YouTube, Google Video and LiveLeak.com. Some show footage from terror attacks, including close-ups of badly burned children. Others give a slide show of photographs depicting exploded military vehicles and dead American soldiers, while Arabic victory songs play in the background.

It seems that Google's infectious hypocrisy has spread to YouTube. After caving in to China's censorship requests, Google/YouTube has relented yet again to the principles of free speech, freedom of thoughts, ideas and communication that it once espoused through it's motto: "Don't be evil."

Hypocrisy of the worst kind.
