George Bush doesn't care about freedom of speech

President Bush is visiting his good friends in Saudi Arabia at the moment (you know - the ones who whip rape victims, throw people in prison for peacefully seeking to change their government, executes more people than Texas, and has the death penalty for homosexuality and adultery). Given his claimed support for human rights in the Middle East, you'd expect Bush to be raising the case of imprisoned Saudi blogger Fouad al-Farhan. Unfortunately, it seems he's more interested in the price of oil than in freedom of speech...
