I heard on the radio this morning that the Bush Administration asked the press not to air Osama bin Laden's speeches in their entirety the next time around. They asked that the more 'inflammatory' and 'flowery' parts be edited out. Five major news organizations agreed to the request, as a gesture of respect and patriotism, the announcer said. I'm appalled by it. Isn't there some Right or Amendment that guards against this sort of thing? This idea of fighting for Freedom is getting more ridiculous by the day, ain't it?
Doug, did you hear about it? You got any petitions to sign or anything? I don't like it one bit. Listening to Osama last Sunday on NBC was about the height of my day. Not that I like his rhetoric either, but I do like hearing what the other folks around the world are hearing. It helps me muddle through my own thoughts, you know.
