RE: Websense and political censorship

Can't be too much stigma attached to it - a former leader of the Klan
is serving as a Senator right now, and is considered by his democrat
peers to be the "conscience of the senate". Go figure! 

That would be Robert Byrd of (the great state of) West Virginia. At
least he's apologetic about it, not that I like the guy. 

From Wikipedia: "In the early 1940s, when Byrd was 24 years old, he
joined the Ku Klux Klan, which he had seen holding parades in Matoaka,
West Virginia, as a child. His father had also been a Klan member[2].
Byrd was unanimously elected to be the leader, known as the Exalted
Cyclops, of his local chapter."
