A new resolution introduced in the US Senate offers political backing to the Bush administration by slamming a United Nations effort to exert more influence over the Internet. At the heart of this international political spat is the unique influence that the US federal government enjoys over Internet addresses and the master database of top-level domain names - a legacy of the Internet's origins years ago. The Bush administration recently raised objections to the proposed addition of .xxx as a red-light district for pornographers, for instance, a veto power that no other government is able to wield.

FYI: In Guantanamo were kept hundreds of people in captivity because the US gov thought they were guilty for facts related to 9/11. It turned out after more than 2 years withour lawyers that the large majority was innocent and didn't have anything to do with 9/11. USA didn't respect the Genova convention which says that everyone has the right to have a lawyer if they are not pursued for war crime. US doesn't have any excuses for not respecting one of the basics of democracy.
