Mostly uncontrolled. There is a censorship board, though. David Grossman
mentions Palestinian poets being censored in _The Yellow Wind_, and over
Christman some movie in Israel got censored, perhaps on the grounds of
inflaming pro-Palestinian sentiment "in wartime". There was also a judge
yanking Sharon's pre-election rant as part of the "no electioneering right
before the election" law, although that feels different than a general
censorship board.

Well, it's not like we give money to lots of Egyptians. We give money to the
Egyptian government and who knows what's done with it.

That'll depend on how we do unto them...

Right, give weapons of mass destruction to rabid fundamentalists who think
your regime is an infidel secular abomination...
