"A leading US senator suggested tonight that the New York Times and other news organisations publishing the US embassy cables being released by WikiLeaks could be investigated for breaking US espionage laws."

Apparently he's never heard of the 1st amendment!

Apparently he's never heard of the 1st amendment!He has, especially when it's to his benefit, but it's a "living" document and must match society's needs of the modern era... :rolleyes:

Lieberman has a track record of wiping his bunghole with the Constitution (http://www.aclu.org/national-security/senators-mccain-and-lieberman-introduce-bill-authorize-indefinite-detention) while singing Americaland Uber Alles.

At least someones trying to be consistant, it drives me nuts when people want Assange "hung by his balls", but would let the NYT and Le Monde off scotch free. Quickly notifying them that they would have to repeal the first ammendment, can get some pretty curious reactions.

War is Health of the State. Using shit from 1917 (Oh by the way, Wilson strikes again!)....In any event, the people will have to choose pretty soon - do you want totalitarianism, or liberty. I can't imagine the sheeple going for liberty yet, but who knows I may be pleasantly surprised (But I doubt it).
