A protester shouts slogans against the Iraqi government decision to block certain internet sites and impose control over the publication of books at Al-Mutanabi Street in Baghdad August 14, 2009. Iraqis including journalists, writers and booksellers demonstrated in central Baghdad on Friday against what they say is state censorship. Iraq says a website ban would only affect those sites deemed pornographic, or that incite violence or encourage crimes such as bomb making, prostitution and "terrorism".
