Pakistan Blocks Bloggers Over Cartoons, Bush?
Over the last few days, Pakistani bloggers have repeatedly reported being blocked from accessing popular blogging web sites, yet the motives are still unclear.
A recent BBC article, Pakistan Blocks Blogs on Cartoons, suggests that access to blogs has been blocked due to a large number of sites encouraging people to draw their own controversial cartoon:

Another theory, on Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwith Blog is that the bloggers are being blocked because of President Bush's visit:

In response to the censorship, Pakistani bloggers have begun a "Don't Block the Blog" Campaign, visit the campaign website here:
