Apparently the U.S. government appreciated Borat Sagdiyev's vocal support for its war of terror.

In its annual report on international human rights practices, the U.S. State Department took Kazakhstan to task for its government's limitations on free speech and other violations, citing as an example the decision to shut down the satirical Website created by Sacha Baron Cohen to further ingratiate his mustachioed alter ego into the pop-culture lexicon.

Kazakh officials have been wary of Borat since his inception on British television in 2000 (he didn't become Borat Sagdiyev until 2003) due to the bogus journalist's characterization of his homeland as virulently anti-Semitic, homophobic, misogynistic and a variety of other unflattering -ic adjectives.

In 2005, with the feature film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan on the horizon, the government took control of the registration of all .kz Internet domains and duly withdrew Cohen's permission to use that domain for his Borat site, www.borat.kz, deeming its content offensive and threatening to sue Cohen for defamation.

Prompting Borat to assure his country that he fully supported the "government's decision to sue this Jew," of course.
