Two of CNN’s morning hosts who will remain anonymous (why give them any more publicity, eh?) have in all seriousness proposed an end to or regulation of anonymous blogging that seems to encourage smearing and slander.

GLOBAL ISLAM – Zeal and Commitment is their Real Power – Do we have it?
November 23, 2009
by SamHenry Since 9/11 we have been drawn into closer contact with the Muslim world by negative forces not the forces of study or discovery.
