Bruce Schneier reviews Access DeniedBruce Schneier reviews Access DeniedPosted Apr 10, 2008 20:20 UTC (Thu) by leoc (subscriber, #39773)In reply to: Bruce Schneier reviews Access Denied by drag Parent article: Bruce Schneier reviews Access Denied Society has a responsibility to protect people against emotional carnage being inflicted on them like that. The same thing could be said about "hate" speech. Personally, I find it sadly ironic that free speech is now specifically restricted at the funerals of soldiers who supposedly died to keep it free. Also I don't have a problem with the FBI monitoring groups either. Except that spying on citizens without a warrant is^H^H used to be illegal. Besides, monitoring is not what COINTELPRO is about. It's about attacking political minority groups to undermine their credibility or to just shut them down. Cynicism such as yours to "theatrics" is exactly the kind of response that makes it so effective.
