Description (as provided by the original submitter)

1. Published before? Yes - it is still available, for a while, in RSS blog syndication feed aggregators tracking http://keziadugdale.blogspot.com/

2. Importance? Because a political blogger's blog article has been CENSORED, not by a Court Order, but by the threat of expensive legal proceedings.

3. Audience? UK political blogosphere and journalists

4. Verification? Parts of the letter have been quoted in the mainstream media, and it has been alluded to in the Scottish Parliament.

5. Why released? To break the log jam, and allow the United Kingdom (and Scottish) political blogosphere to support freedom of speech, even by political opponents, without necessarily having to re-publish the letter themselves, and then face similar threats from lawyers, under the United Kingdom's appalling libel laws which favour the rich and powerful.

6. Urgency? Momentum needed for the Streisand Effect
