Comments on: Bush administration attacks 'shield' for bloggers

Justice official says congressional proposal that could let bloggers protect sources in some cases raises "national security" concerns.

That sucks

I believe that a person has a right to some secrets. I think that if a blogger wants to reveal where they got the story from they can, but if they want to protect their sources they should be allowed to do it.

If it means I lose my right to free speech and other liberties.

Angry liberals mischaracterize as a tactic

Liberals are always trying to mischaracterize to score points in a debate. They throw out words like "torture" and "spying" so that their weak-minded followers can just latch on to a codeword and ignore the facts. C|Net is actively participating in this as part of the liberal media.

Obviously you can't find a hole in their argument

There is a legitimat concern that bloggers may be pushed
around by the government if this law isn't passed - a clause in
the bill states that if safety is at risk then they must give up their
sources so why is this law hindering anything but tyranny?

Stop delivering personal attacks and saying "oh liberals are just
stupid" and argue a real point!!!!!!

I completely argree - how can a democracy function if the
people aren't free to be informed and to inform each other on
the issues without being harassed by the gov

Stifling dissent, the Republican way

When you are in the business of manufacturing consent, free thought and criticism are a real threat.

Ironically, this country was founded on dissent, and now those that wrap themselves in the stars and stripes attempt to stifle dissent any way they can.

Too bad for the Bush regime that the public has finally caught on to their strategy of dragging out the "terrorism" bogeyman every time they need to leverage their agenda.
