<p> an entry from the <a href="http://www.alpheratz.net/BushCo/"><i>BushCo</i></a> blog:<br> <b>Pentagon trying to censor top US political cartoonist</b> <p> <p>from <a href="http://americablog.blogspot.com/2006/02/pentagon-trying-to-censor-top-us.html" target="external" class="outlink">AmericaBlog</a>: </p> <p> The Joint Chiefs of Staff just sent a menacing letter to the Washington Post over a cartoon.... <a href="http://americablog.blogspot.com/tolesletter.pdf" target="external" class="outlink">Here’s the letter</a> the Joint Chiefs of Staff wrote to the Post. </p> <p> And why not have the Pentagon try to stifle a free media while supposedly promoting freedom in Iraq? The US government just arrested one of President Bush’s top political critics for threatening his life with a t-shirt. So why not now threaten a top political cartoonist for drawing a cartoon that the Pentagon doesn’t like? Why not use the power of government to try to censor the media, something that’s a direct violation of that pesky and quaint 1st Amendment to the US Constitution - you remember, that document the Bush administration doesn’t think is relevant. </p> <p> I have no problem with citizens speaking out about political cartoons they find offensive - hell, we’ve done it recently with the anti-gay cartoon in the Post. But when the government does it, that’s a whole other story that smacks of censorship, especially when that government is the Pentagon threatening you during wartime. </p> <p> <img src="http://www.alpheratz.net/images/uploads/ttoles_battle_hardened.gif" align="left" style="margin: 5px 5px 5px 0px;" border="0" alt="" name="" width="489" height="409" /><br clear="all"> </p>
