US among top 10 nations jailing scribes
America and free speech, they use to go together in the eyes of the world. But look now, America has revealed its true goals to the point were they can no longer falsely send out this image.
Jailing journalist now. Killing free speech. Think were all this is leading.
"Journalists covering conflict, unrest, corruption, and human rights abuses face a growing risk of incarceration in many countries, where governments seek to disguise their repressive acts as legitimate legal processes,"

Zatikia,
That made me think about a statistic I read the other day:
66: Journalists killed in Iraq.
63: Journalists killed during Vietnam war
That also makes me wonder about the the large number of apparent suicides among journalists/media people. Here's a few that I can think of:
- Hunter S. Thompson Counterculture writer
- Gary Webb linked CIA to crack sales
- Danny Casolaro book writer
- Andrew Gilligan Downing Street Memo
- Willard “Billy” Clarey Daily Show
How many of these were "suicided" to preserve information supremacy??
