Land of the Free

[Kevin Robert Dean]

"More than two-thirds of Americans are not concerned
that the US Government censored websites as part of
the war on terrorism. 
A survey by US-based think-tank Pew Internet has found
that 69% of American citizens believe the government
should do everything it can to keep information out of
the hands of terrorists, even if that means the public
will be deprived of that information. 

After last year's attacks, US Government and some
private websites removed information about chemical
plants and the chemicals produced there, military
bases and other sensitive data from the net. 

It has led to a debate in the US over the level of
information that can be available to the public
following the terrorist attacks. 

Most Americans seem to back some level of ban. Even a
majority of those who previously advocated
accessibility to government information, think it
should be removed from the net if it helps the war on
terrorism. "
