Not quite.

Freedom of speech isn't always a good thing, especially in the interests of National Security/wartime and, have a media reporting things from an oppositional bias.

As far as the Patriot Act, if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to lose. It's the only viable alternative to internment camps...Guantanimo excluded.

Nothing like letting your enemies know how you are; how your morale is; and how they're doing at attacking you.

Ridiculous.
Everything's completely upside down.
