  25. Re:You free speech defenders on Japanese Government Will Censor Fukushima "Illegal Information" · · Score: 1
    Saul Rubinek did a great scene on Starfate SG1, Season 7 Episode 18 "Heroes Part 2".

    These people are risking their lives for us? I want to SEE what they are going through. Even if they don't want us to. And I want other people to see it. What do you think they are doing there? Protecting and defending secrecy? That's the world of Mao and the world of Stallin. The world of secret police, secret trials, secret deaths.

    You force the press into the cold and all you'll get is lies and innuendo, and nothing, nothing is worse for a free society than a press that is in service to the military and the politicians. Nothing!
