The Logic Off Topic list

Well, as you can see the government's instructions are being ignored, so in
this case the freedom seems to be preserved - for now.

During WWII we had much tighter restrictions on what could be told about on
radio.  Interestingly DC Comics was going to publish a comic book that
alluded to an atomic sort of weapon and the government banned it when they
learned of it.

Hunter S. Thompson wrote a pretty good article about this at
http://espn.go.com/page2/s/thompson/010918.html .  Whether you read it or
not, I like the old Churchill quote, "The first casualty of War is always
Truth." and moreover "In wartime, the Truth is so precious that it should
always be surrounded by a bodyguard of Lies."
