Censorship

In issues of censorship I often find myself torn. While obviously our freedom of speech is an integral aspect of our culture and national identity, sometimes I feel that we lack a respect for this right. This article that I found on the File Room website is a perfect example of a time when censorship may be appropriate, but then when a reporter discovers evidence of a general's war criminal actions maybe that is a topic that the public should be aware of in order to hold him accountable, regardless of "national security" concerns. This is definitely a difficult question that deserves serious thought.
