Saying it had the right to block "controversial or unsavory" text messages, Verizon Wireless has rejected a request from NARAL Pro-Choice America, the abortion rights group, to make Verizon's mobile network available for a text-message program.

The other leading wireless carriers have accepted the program.

Legal authorities said private companies like Verizon probably have the right to decide which messages to carry.

Ooops. Sorry. Our mistake.

Never mind. Go about your texting, Naral.

In light of all this censorship, shouldn't we be the last nation on earth trying to force our view of "freedom" on other people?? Honestly, if you can't even send a personal text without being subjected to this Gestapo like intrusion, what the hell are we fighting for in Iraq? Has anyone asked the Iraqi's if this is the type of freedom they want????
