AP covers Iranian bloggers' and repression

Wired has run an interesting AP story on Iranian bloggers catching grief from the government there.  There's a quote from the Director of a group called The Committee to Protect Bloggers, a great org for keeping up with the battle between democratization and authoritarianism online.  How social are social media going to be if some people go to jail for using them for freedom?  Definitely a step beyond, though related to, the "I got fired for blogging" meme.  (Disclosure:  I'm an unpaid technical consultant for The Committee to Protect Bloggers.)
