House of Representatives hearing on net censorship with Google,
Microsoft, Cisco, and Yahoo reps. At one point, Rep. Tom Lantos
asks if Microsoft is ashamed of their actions in China. Microsoft:
'We comply with legally binding orders whether it's here in the U.S.
or China.' Lantos: 'Well, IBM complied with legal orders when they
cooperated with Nazi Germany.  Those were legal orders under the
Nazi German system.'s

Regards,
