Knowing that e-mails can be monitored in the Emirates is disturbing, but hardly surprising. Every week I come across a website that is "banned." (One of the most bizarre banned websites is Andrew Sullivan, whose link is on the right side of the page. Andrew is very critical of Israel so his blog should be welcome. Go figure.)
The trouble for the Emirates is that they want to be a major tourist/financial hub. Telling business people they can't use their BlackBerries when they come will unquestionably dampen the spirit.
