Okay, *do* be evil: Google launches censored google.cn in China

The decision was reached after what was described as an excruciating internal debate, but the company finally decided, in the words of Andrew McLaughlin, senior policy counsel, "We firmly believe, with our culture of innovation, Google can make meaningful and positive contributions to the already impressive pace of development in China."

Um... yeah. Spinning.

This comes on the heels of a post that I can't find at the moment allegedly from a Google employee lamenting that it's gone from a great place to work to a many-headed corporate hydra.

Evil is as evil does. Doing the Google China is all about making money.
