SO THIS is democracy in Afghanistan. This is typical of how the USA under this administration feels about journalism in general. If you don't serve the purpose of the government you are worthless. How many journalists don't get that message. The way you write, the way things are paraphrased, self editing to custom fit oppression. I know it's there. It's just that in Afghanistan it's more obvious that the 'JAIL' is physical and not intellectual. I would have never worn the T-shirt.
