on some of these areas of DU - but it's not my website. I also think dropping Meta in favor Ask the Administrators was a bad idea too. But this isn't my website. I don't own it - and so Skinner and the moderators get to decide that kind of thing. And in fairness I'm not 100% sure they are wrong; it certainly can create a lot of friction.

But that has very little to do with Freedom of the Press. Freedom of the Press means you can create your own website and talk about these issues for as long as you want to and as much as you want to. But your freedom of the press doesn't mean you can require the mods to allow discussion of those issues here.

What does this have to do with "war crimes," the subject of the OP? AnotherMcIntosh Apr 2013 #6

Well if the US Government allowed/encouraged 9/11 that would be a crime of some sort el_bryanto Apr 2013 #7

What? Does post #4 mention "the US Government allowed/encouraged 9/11"? AnotherMcIntosh Apr 2013 #8

Indirectly, yes. el_bryanto Apr 2013 #9

Considering that if you give $100 to a Mosque that happens to be on a watch list... green for victory Apr 2013 #15

Is the article incorrect? Did Porter Goss have lunch with Mahmud Ahmed? sabrina 1 Apr 2013 #16

Well - again - I don't believe the linkages add up to very much el_bryanto Apr 2013 #17

I didn't say anything about linkages. Has DU decided that news, facts, are not facts?? Or that some sabrina 1 Apr 2013 #18

OK. Cards on the table - I sort of agree that there could be more open discussion el_bryanto Apr 2013 #19

Well, I wasn't talking about DU. I was talking about the general censorship of US Media. sabrina 1 Apr 2013 #20

maybe re read the OP green for victory Apr 2013 #13

We are not supposed to be talking like this. zeemike Apr 2013 #10
