given the ruling did it would be an auspicious time in canada and australia where some of the journalists are citizens to begin the process of changing the names of the streets of the embassies to the names of political prisoners. >> david kay there was an al jazeera ad in the new york times yesterday and it was for all practical purposes a full blank page and it says "this is what happens when you silence journalists. that is the great threat behind all the intimidation and censorship that we will not have reporting of important issues. >> yes. the new opportunities we have in media and through internets while they appear to open things up in many ways don't. governments after all can just pull the plug on these things when they want to. and we need to recognize that if we don't protect the people whose job it is to tell us what our governments and other institutions are doing, that at the end of the day, all of us will suffer, a diminution of our rights and opportunities. and creative ideas like this renaming of streets in front of embassies are one of the many peaceful ways that we can
