Proud of what you've become to yourself, your citizens and to the rest of the world?
I don't understand this. There is nothing different about what is going on in the US. This treatment, in much worse forms, was already standard for minorities as well as against foreigners during operations abroad.
They are giving us an opportunity to question the past and the present in terms of the way interracial and international relationships have been carried out thus far, and all we are doing is "OMG OMG How did this happen!". It's sad.

Submission + - Depressed People Surf the Web Differently
Internet usage was shown to vary between people who showed signs of depression and people who had no signs of depression. People who had symptoms of depression were more likely to use file-sharing programs and seemingly cruise around sites at random.

Sure it does. It defines what legally is true. Law is a productive discourse, not just a restrictive one...

TIB actually blocked connections out of Turkey to their website as a precaution against this attack.

Turkey in 2011 is a true Orwellian 1984 state where people are afraid to discuss politics or religion over the phone or internet, where going into important business meetings you are routinely asked to check your smartphone/mobile phone at the door, where anytime anything crime related happens, police magically get hold of 'detailed Internet records' of the perps immediately.
I live in Turkey: all of this is outright lies except the last one, which occurs "elsewhere" as well (as in "think of the children").

I'm really not sure we should be letting these guys into the EU until they start making some changes to the way they do things.

BTK had an announcement about TIB on a Turkish newspaper today, saying that they will get the IP addresses of the attackers and will "possibly punish them" for it (1, in Turkish). I posted the link so we all can have a touristic visit to a Turkish jail.
PS. Turkish media are now reporting (most probably upon government directives) that the attacks were not successful despite initial reports.
