An Interesting Crime

Stories like this make me proud to be an American, where we're at least free in most senses to speak our mind and make up crap on the internet. Apparently in Morocco, that's not the case. A Moroccan computer engineer, Fouad Mourtada, who is 26 years old, is accused of stealing a Moroccan prince's identity. No he didn't get his social or look through the prince's trash for information. He created a profile on facebook of the prince. It's not that funny of a story being that the man is being beaten in jail. This just shows the absurdities of modern technology and anachronistic laws.

Ouch. Sometimes I think we overlook some of the most basic forms of freedom that we have.
