Here at the George W. Bush Institute’s Conference on Cyber Dissidents, I asked several dissident bloggers for their U.S.-policy and private-sector wish lists. What, in other words, would they most like to see instituted to help cyber dissidents successfully oppose tyrannical regimes? Here are the answers.

Oleg Kozlovsky, Russian political dissident:

1. Private companies should include some NGOs and independent media outfits in already existing programs that provide free or low-cost software to schools.

2.  The U.S. should redouble the effort to translate the work of active dissidents into English and reliable English-language news into other languages.

Ahed Al Hendi, founder of Syrian Youth for Justice:

1. U.S. should fund and provide technology to evade regime-instituted satellite jamming.

2. (My personal favorite) Western intelligence agencies should identify rights abusers by name and position — such as Revolutionary Guard members caught beating protesters — and circulate the intelligence inside and outside the relevant country.

3. The U.S. should fund and support dissident television broadcasts.

Rodrigo Diamanti, Venezuelan activist and international director of “World Without Censorship“:

1. Human rights NGOs need to be more dogged about pressuring private companies that, unwittingly or not, aid tyrannical regimes’ suppression of dissident voices.

Then again, “bearing witness” has worked so well, so why stop now?
