First of all, good piece. Second, I think that it is very unfortunate that other countries cannot live as freely as we do, but the fact of the matter is that they do not have a Bill of Rights that guarantees the personal freedoms we so much enjoy, and often take for granted. The case discussed is absolutely appalling, but until other countries adopt a set of guidelines such as ours, it is seemingly unreasonable to compare their moral standards to ours. Let's just continue to hope for an implementation of such guidelines--for the citizens sake, and especially for the journalists' sake. Until then, there isn't much we can do.
