Just to follow-up, Monster.com apparently backpedalled on the censoring of job postings containing references to blacklisted countries. However, I still think the whole thing is ridiculous. I don't think Monster was under any legal burden to do so, and if the Administration wants to assert that they have one, then Bush et. al. are seriously overextending the term "services" in the sanctions. Either people are free to live and work where they want, or they aren't free. I don't believe the Bush Administration has any right to interfere with that level of personal freedom, but then again, since when is freedom important to them?
