Science Editors Urge Nondisclosure Of Bioterror Info

Jeraph Mason writes "According to this story on ABC news, science editors want to censor their publications because terrorists may use them. It's the same argument used to prevent security disclosures from being published." There's also coverage on the BBC and at The Washington Post.

    I am the plaintiff in this lawsuit against Michael Jackson. I was born on
    January 11, 1980 and I am 13 years old. I am currently in the eighth grade. I
    first met Michael Jackson when I was five years old at a restaurant that my
    mother, stepfather and I often went to.
    In about May of 1992 I met Michael Jackson again at my stepfather's car rental
    business, Rent-a-Wreck. My stepfather called me and told me that Michael
    Jackson was at Rent-a-Wreck adn that I should come down and see him. Later I
    learned from my stepfather that Michael Jackson's car had broken down and
    that he was at Rent-a-Wreck to get another car while his was being repaired.
    After I met Michael Jackson at Rent-a-Wreck he began calling me on the
    telephone. From about May of 1992 until about February 1993 (when I first
    spent the weekend with Michael Jackson at Neverland), I received many
    telephone calls from Michael Jackson. For at least part of this time Michael
    Jackson was on tour and he would be calling me from various places throughout
    the world. On occasion these telephone conversations lasted as long as three
    hours. Michael Jackson and I talked about video games, the Neverland Ranch,
    water fights, and famous people that he knew.
    In about February 1993, my mother, Lily (my half sister), and I went to
    Neverland at the invitation of Michael Jackson. The three of us stayed
    together in the guest area. I did not spend the night with Michael Jackson.
    This was a weekend trip.
    I spent the entire weekend with Michael Jackson. We went on jet skis in a
    small lake he had, saw the animals that he kept at Neverland, played video
    games and went on golf cart rides. One evening he took Lily and me to Toys 'R
    Us and we were allowed to get anything we wanted. Although the store was
    closed, it was opened just for our visit.
    In late March 1993, my mother Lily and I went to Las Vegas as a guest of
    Michael Jackson. We flew on a private airplane. We stayed at a large suite at
    the Mirage Hotel. My mother and Lily shared a bedroom. We stayed at the
    Mirage Hotel about a week. One night Michael Jackson and I watched the
    Exorcist in Michael Jackson's bedroom. When the movie was over, I was scared.
    Michael Jackson suggested that I spend the night with him, which I did.
    Although we slept in the same bed there was no physical contact.
    From that time, whenever Michael Jackson and I were together we slept in the
    same bed. We spent two or three additional nights in the same bed at Las
    Vegas. Again, there was no physical contact.
    After I returned from the Las Vegas trip, my friendship with Michael Jackson
    became much closer. My mother, Lily and I started making frequent trips to
    Neverland. At Neverland I would always sleep in bed with Michael Jackson. I
    also slept in bed with Michael Jackson at my house and at hotels in New York,
    Florida and Europe. We were together until our relationship ended in July
    1993. During our relationship Michael Jackson had sexual contact with me on
    many occasions.
    Physical contact between Michael Jackson and myself increased gradually. The
    first step was simply Michael Jackson hugging me. The next step was for him
    to give me a brief kiss on the cheek. He then started kissing me on the lips,
    first briefly and then for a longer period of time. He would kiss me while we
    were in bed together.
    The next step was when Michael Jackson put his tongue in my mouth. I told him
    I did not like that. Michael Jackson started crying. He said there was
    nothing wrong iwth it. He said that just because most people believe
    something is wrong, doesn't make it so.
    Michael Jackson told me that another of his young friends would kiss him with
    an open mouth and would let Michael Jackson put his tongue in his mouth.
    Michael Jackson said that I did not love him as much as this other friend.
    The next step was when Michael Jackson rubbed up against me in bed. The next
    step was when we would lie on top of each other with erections.
    During May of 1993, my mother, Lily and I went with Michael Jackson to Monaco
    in Europe. Michael Jackson and I both had colds so we stayed in the room all
    day while my mother and Lily were out. That's when the whole thing really got
    out of hand. We took a bath togetehr. This was the first time that we had
    seen each other naked. Michael Jackson named certain of his children friends
    that masturbated in front of him.
    Michael Jackson then masturbated in front of me. He told me that when I was
    ready, he would do it for me. While we were in bed, Michael Jackson put his
    hand underneath my underpants. He then masturbated me to a climax. After that
    Michael Jackson masturbated me many times both with his hand and with his
    mouth.
    Michael Jackson had me suck one nipple and twist the other nipple while
    Michael Jackson masturbated. On one occasion when Michael Jackson and I were
    in bed together Michael Jackson grabbed my buttock and kissed me while he put
    his tongue in my ear. I told him I didn't like that. Michael Jackson started
    to cry.
    Michael Jackson told me that I should not tell anyone what happened. He said
    this was a secret.
    My relationship with Michael Jackson ended when my father obtained custody of
    me in July 1993 and I started living permanently at my father's house.
    I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
    Executed on December 28, 1993, at Santa Monica, California.

    This has got to stop.

    Information must not be restricted.

    The only thing that comes from a society where information is restricted to 'special' people is a socialist society..

    Economics, not science. If you choose to criticize someone, at least criticize properly and stop posting as an AC.
