A Turkish publisher faces up to six years in jail for "insulting the Turkish identity" by translating a book by Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman. The Istanbul prosecutor has indicted Fatih Tas, owner of the Aram publishing house, because of comments about the country's Kurdish problem in the 2001 edition of Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media. There are 21 charges against Tas and two of his colleagues, some of which carry heavy jail sentences. (Via reuters.com)
