This is What Censorship Looks Like: NYT Pakistan Edition

[okaawhatever]

This week, The New York Times Magazine published a long article with the provocative headline "What Pakistan Knew About Bin Laden." The story delves into the shadowy world of Pakistan's political and intelligence communities, examining what the country may have hidden from the United States while outwardly cooperating with the hunt to find Osama bin Laden in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.

Someone in Pakistan didn't take too kindly to the story.

The print edition of the International New York Times in Pakistan cut the article in its entirety, and ran with a blank space where it would have been.
