Exploring what can happen when people think for themselves.
Turkey shuts down 130 media outlets after failed military coup
“…In all, nearly 16,000 people have been detained for questioning over suspected links to the coup attempt, and about half have been arrested to face trial…”
“…Such detentions have raised concerns that people could be targeted simply for criticizing the government…”
Really? You think so? Nah… they wouldn’t do that, would they?
One of my favorite blogs is Walter Olson’s Overlawyered at the Cato Institute. His commentaries on current legal issues are very informative, and written for normal people as well as lawyers. He frequently points out examples of government gone awry, or the effects of bad legislation. Very interesting blog; usually one of my first stops of the day.
Walter is a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute, a libertarian-leaning think tank in Washington, DC. The Cato web site can be found here.
