If the press and populace can't say what they think, is there any America
left that is worth fighting for? And don't forget, the US press beat the
war drums mercilessly during the run up and first year or two of the Iraq
invasion, if they've turned against it now it only shows how craven they
are.
Reporting troop movements or other information that directly endangers the
lives of soldiers is, and should be, prohibited, but after that the press
can, and should, report whatever they think is accurate.
Speaking of the press and an agenda, what do you think about liberal firebrand
Robert Novak outing an active CIA case officer working the anti-proliferation
beat?

The fact that the press was onboard from the beginning also shows what
an idiotic idea the war was in the first place.
