Thank you (Dis)Information Ministry for wasting Court time

In today's Arab Times:
Appeals also acquits Seyassah: The Court of Appeals recently upheld the verdict
of the lower court which had earlier acquitted Al-Seyassah daily in a case filed
by the Information Ministry accusing the daily of publishing an article which
damages the country’s relation with Syria and Lebanon, reports Al-Seyassah
daily. The said article states the presidents of these two countries are not
likely to remain in office by the end of October 2006.

Let's hope the folks in the (Dis)Information Ministry responsible for this waste of time in the courts don't remain in their office by the end of October 2006. On a positive note, it's good to see justice being done!

Doesn't the (Dis)Information Ministry realise that by pursuing a strict censorship regime, they're doing more to damage Kuwait's relations with other countries than an innocuous remark made by an individual who manages to get it published in a newspaper?
