Too bad that Yahoo doesn't have President Bush and his Republicans to give it immunity.

Hi,

If Mr Yang does not like the Chinese "laws" and behavior, why does he continue to do business with them??

Is the lure of big money too much??

What do U think??

Lantos is an eastern European Jew from California.

This is likely the last set of comments I'll ever read in HuffPo. What a bunch of stupid remarks, by people who know nothing yet feel compelled to write anyway. The point is that Yahoo engaged in hideously unethical collusion with a fascist government. Period.

And the Democrats are gutless hypocrites who only care about money and power.

Pigmys? Lantos attacked a minority group.
I hope the Pigmys protest him.

I can hear Randy Newman playing "Short People" now.

Rudy Kazootie explained all this if you listen.

Helen Thompson: Don't you think that waterboarding is torture?
Rudy Kazootie: The depends on a lot of things like, who does it.

See, If the Bush administration arrests journalists without a warrant for criticizing the president, apposing the war, that is being terrorists, that is O.K.

If China does it that bad. If a communications company lets China use their tool to do it, they are morally bankrupt.

If a communications company in the USA helps the CIA wiretap a journalist they get immunity
from prosecution and lawsuits.

The principle of Lantos morality is simple, one set of rules for the USA, a different set of rules for China.

And Yahoo better help the CIA catch those terrorist liberal journalists.

Lantos hammers Yahoo for cooperating with China, while they are doing the same very thing against Americans by complying with Bush's illegal orders.

Exactly how is that different?

I agree with Lantos's assessment of Yahoo executives as being moraly bankrupt. They disgust me.

Lantos is a hypocrat in his support of Israeli occupation. So I guess they are all bastards.

wow, thats kind of impressive when a senator does that to a campaign cash cow. I wonder if they pre-planned it for the public? Its not like anyone to do anything to piss off the wealthy. Especially with election just around the corner.

Lantos' grandstanding is an attempt to camouflage his public defense of Guantanamo.

Excerpt from this article:

"I cannot ask our local employees to resist lawful demands and put their own freedom at risk, even if, in my personal view, the local laws are overbroad," Callahan said.

Lantos interrupted him.

"Why do you insist on repeating the phrase 'lawful orders'? These were demands by a police state," Lantos said.

"It's my understanding that under Chinese law these are lawful," Callahan responded after some hesitation.

Oh, the irony. The same Congressmen who were rolling over backwards to give ATT immunity after it violated an illegal order by the Bush administration are beating up on Yahoo! for follwoing an actual (albiet repugnant) law in China.. Hypocrits.

Why don't we make laws to prohibit American companies from responding to subpeona from a communist country ? Isn't that much more effective and Congressmen don't need to be so obnoxious toward offenders after the fact.

Lantos owes Pygmies an apology.

Since this needs more than a brief comment, I have written a more extensive opinion at:
