Soon to happen in any western democratic country near you, with the passing new anti terrorist suppression laws, due to very loose anti sedition clauses! Since these laws give legal permission for the police to suppress your legal rights, and literally dissappear anyone for as long as they want and send you anywhere else in the world where legal and local laws permit torture to non persons created thus!, with no legal recourse, and redress!

Censorship happens in the USA everyday in one form or another. Look at the Dixie Chicks, Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Whoopi Goldberg, or the Judge who was kicked off Tom Delay's case so he can be replaced by a Republican.
