EU moves to stop surveillance tech sales to despots

http://j.mp/s9T7JJ  (ZDNET)

   In the wake of the Wikileaks 'Spy Files' revelations last week, ZDNet
   UK understands digital agenda commissioner Neelie Kroes will urge
   technology firms to come up with a way to avoid "selling despots the
   tools of their repression", a practice she describes as "to say the
   least, bad PR".

Yeah, bad PR -- like helping to get innocent people imprisoned, tortured,
killed.  That kind of bad PR.
