Blogger gets flogged

It's hard to believe that some countries do not have the freedom of speech right we like to think we enjoy here in the states.

A Saudi Arabian blogger who was arrested for his political blog, may be freed soon.

The man, Fouad Al-Farhan, operates the website alfarhan.org and he posted an email to his own blog saying that he was faced with possible arrest for supporting a group of reform advocates.

He was accused of supporting terrorism.

It's a shame that there are places like this that won't allow the free discussion of ideas by the people and citizens of the state or country.
