Government trying to bypass 1st amendement rights of journalists and bloggers,
by useing the perpetual war card, terrorism....It stems back to vietnam from where
the the elites blame the press for showing the pictures of the pointlessness of wars
to the American public in their front rooms.So losing the propaganda war.
The UK learned from this in the next zionist war the falklands where the journalists
were all 'embeded' and only went where the military said they were safe to go...
Thus the media were back in the box, they were in during WW11 and this carried
on during all major conflicts since ....So 'embeded ' = sensored by definition.
There is a safety arguement to this and independent journalists have been killed
some by 'friendly' fire.
Anyway heres an article about a federal judge trying to uphold the 1st amendment
against government pressure !!

On Wednesday, a Federal judge made permanent an injunction barring the indefinite detention of Americans without charge under the National Defense Authorization Act. The group of plaintiffs in this case comprised of seven journalists claiming this piece of legislation jeopardizes their livelihood. Their argument was that under the NDAA they could be detained indefinitely for just reporting on the violence in the Middle-East and interacting with terrorists. Kevin Gosztola, a blogger with FireDogLake.com, joins us with more.

A federal judge blocked the government from enforcing a statute that allows the indefinite detention without trial of terrorism suspects. That means a victory for journalists and the activists fighting the law who could be arrested because their jobs sometimes require them to interact with suspect on the government's radar, but it could be a victory short-lived. Only one day after a judge granted a permanent injunction on the NDAA provision, the White House asked for an appeal. Tangerine Bolen, the founder of Revolution Truth and a plaintiff in the case, joins RTs Liz Wahl for more.

A federal judge has ruled that the Government can not enforce a provision that allows the military to detain those in support of terrorists or "associated forces." The latter words here are key - that's because the plaintiffs in this case against consist of reporters and activists that say they believe they can fall under this category by reporting in the Middle East. According to the group they can be indefinitely detained because their jobs sometimes require them to interact with terrorists. The judge granted a temporary injunction back in May which put a temporary block on that part of the law. Federal judge Katherine Forrest has now made the order permanent. Carl Mayer, an attorney with the Mayer Law Group and co-counsel to the plaintiff in this case, joins RT's Liz Wahl for the details.
