Throughout U.S. history, civil liberties, including press freedom, have been threatened during times of war. The months after the September 11 attacks were no exception—the U.S. Congress passed legislation curtailing certain civil rights, and the Bush administration, aside from suggesting that criticism could be construed as unpatriotic, asserted a broad right to keep its activities secret from the public. While both these trends have dissipated somewhat during the last few months, they could re-emerge if the U.S. decides to go to war with Iraq.

Police eventually led protestors down the road and away from the prying eyes of the press to make their arrest.

Catty, the arrests in the last link were made because the protesters violated their permit and trespassed, not because they were protesting.

In the link from George Mason Uni., the last paragraph :

And this time? Excepting news gathered by reporters in areas controlled by the Northern Alliance, the only news the American people are receiving about the war's progress is coming from the Pentagon.

is true for the initial invasion of Afghanistan, but is patently false for subsequent operations. After the initial invasion of Afghanistan, the Pentagon started the embedded reporter program. The initial invasion was not covered by the media as it was a surprise takedown, and the media are notorious for blowing operational security. (As evidenced by the reporters waiting on the beach for the US Marines in Somalia)

Oh, ok. Wasn't sure.

However, there is a way to find the links CN mentioned if you even have a place or name to Google with. I was kind of flying blind!

NP, just pointing out some issues with the links. No harm, no foul.
