NewYorkYankee - Good points, well made
The question is, will our respective 'democratic' governments now step in to squash this dangerous trend towards real freedom of information? The brand of democracy which the 'civilised' west seem hell bent on exporting appears to include the right to torture and kill, the right to imprison indefinitely without charge or trial, the right to murder civilians and claim they were casualties of war. On that last point, it was again a freelance civilian who exposed the lies and cover up of the US marines at Haditha.

I don't think our 'democratic' governments in the UK and US will tolerate this real freedom of information for too much longer before making some sort of snuffing-out move.
