In this case, it's jolly old England taking the lead. From today's "The Independent:" "MPs seek to censor the media "Exclusive by Kim Sengupta "Monday, 10 November 2008 "Britain's security agencies and police would be given unprecedented and legally binding powers to ban the media from reporting matters of national security, under proposals being discussed in Whitehall. "The Intelligence and Security Committee, the parliamentary watchdog of the intelligence and security agencies which has a cross-party membership from both Houses, wants to press ministers to introduce legislation that would prevent news outlets from reporting stories deemed by the Government to be against the interests of national security. "The committee also wants to censor reporting of police operations that are deemed to have implications for national security. The ISC is to recommend in its next report, out at the end of the year, that a commission be set up to look into its plans, according to senior Whitehall sources." For the rest of story: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/mps-seek-to-censor-the-media- 1006607.html Just a straw in the wind. We ain't seen nothing yet. woods: Your right. We ain't seen nothing yet. Did you know the UK is planning on having all email routed to a centralized location to be stored in what their calling "black boxes"? Hmmm... a message is sent, seen as national security priority, and somebody gets tracked down, locked up, and the press doesn't report it cause it's national security related... The UK's building up the options. We know the populous hardly has any weapons, if any at all, due to their gun control laws... woods Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
