Good Luck & Be Careful

Looks like our Bahraini friend Mahmood has got himself into a spot of trouble:

Bahrain has blocked several Web sites for violating a reporting ban in the case of a government adviser who was deported after alleging election irregularities.
...
Among the blocked Web sites was popular Bahraini blog www.mahmood.tv which is often a forum for political debate and government criticism. It re-opened under www.alyousif.tv, with a photograph of site owner Mahmood al-Yousif wearing a gag.

Messing around with someone who has a megaphone and the balls smarts to use it is usually not the most productive use of one's time. Then again, governments tend to have a lot of time and quite a bit more power than they should. Here's to hoping this all ends up for the best!
