Captain's Quarters Makes New York Times

Here's a mainstream press report on how the Captain's Quarters blog has rattled all of Canada.

While the Canadian news media have not reported explicitly what Mr. Morrissey is posting, their newspaper articles and television features about his work have led Canadians to visit Captain's Quarters (www.captainsquartersblog.com) to read the latest scandalous details. Mr. Morrissey said his blog had been flooded since Canadian CTV television first reported on its existence and contents Sunday night, and that he was now getting 400,000 hits a day.

"This is a historic moment for blogs," Mr. Morrissey said in a telephone interview. "The point of having free speech and a free press is to have people informed. These information bans are self-defeating for free societies. The politicians know, the media knows, but the Canadian voters are left in the dark and that's a backwards way of doing things."

The publication ban is still in effect - in fact, one of my friends told me today to remove the link I had earlier posted to the Captain's Quarters blog. I haven't....and I won't.
