Freedom of the Press? Really?
http://www.atlargely.com/atlargely/2010/12/freedom-of-the-press-really.html

by Larisa Alexandrovna

"Our liberty cannot be guarded but by the freedom of the press, nor that be limited without danger of losing it." --Thomas Jefferson to John Jay, 1786

Do you want to be astonished by the tactics being used to discredit Bradley Manning - the whistle-blower behind the Wikileaks documents, silence Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and put pressure on Wikileaks in general? Let me astonish you then:

Bradley Manning - That Manning may or may not be gay (not that his sexual preferences in any way invalidate the veracity of the documents he passed to Assange), is something of important to the noted plagiarist and liar Anne Coulter:

The two biggest stories this week are WikiLeaks' continued publication of classified government documents, which did untold damage to America's national security interests, and the Democrats' fanatical determination to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" and allow gays to serve openly in the military.
