No Free Press in Greece Greek court convicts cartoonist of blasphemy -- that's right, blasphemy -- and gives him a six-month suspended sentence. The disturbing part: The author is from Austria, and says he didn't even know his book had been published in Greece, but under EU extradition laws, he's on the hook. It doesn't matter whether the book was in good taste or not. That (a) a European country sees fit to enforce laws on blasphemy, (b) a European country sees fit to convict an author over a matter of tastes and preferences, and (c) European Union regulations would allow for an absurdity like his conviction and extradition are enough to terrify. It makes them no better than Communists. |
