There is also a point when "free" speech provides aid to the enemy.
Couple that fact with today's press, that can be bought by either
side, and you end up in a dangerous haze that forces the path taken to
be based passion and politics, instead of reason.

Nonsense. American ideals are the only thing worth fighting for.

That is a damn provincial attitude to the rest of the world, and a perfect
example of head-in-the-sand when it comes to global terrorism.

Sometimes fighting while upholding those ideals is harder, but in the long
run worth it. When you start censoring free press and free speech in the
name of supporting the war, then you are already operating in a dangerous
haze based on passion and politics.

Whoa .. bucko!. Not old enough to remember WWII, or much American history
are we?

There is nothing "nonsense" about limits on free speech. AAMOF, it is a
historical fact in this country since day 1 (remember the principle of
yelling "fire" in a crowded theater), particularly in times of war or
national danger ... and if we lose this one, WWII will look like a walk in
the park.

Solution: get your head out of the sand and start listening to what is going
on around you when it comes to a "free press" also ... Dan Rather and CBS,
and the paying of "journalists" by the present administration, sound
familiar?
