i don't think "forgot "is the right word to use. All the countries mentioned were censoring sites to prevent the country from being like the US, so why would they mention US censorship?

It really does suck some serious ass over here in China that we don't get to access any public homepage sites like geocities or tripod. Nor can we access CNN (although it's crap anyway) or BBC sites.

Still, I agree, the US practices extensive self-censorship and should be mentioned.
