Under Truman, full wartime censorship went into effect after six months of the Korean War

Correspondents could not criticize the Allies' conduct of the Korean War and could not send demoralizing dispatches. The correspondents were placed under jurisdiction of the Army and were subject to courtmartial. They could not quote officers or publish casualties without authorization.

There were many more rules, which are listed at the link.

The Dems and DBM are laughably stupid when they pretend that George W Bush squashes opposition to the Iraq War.

Democrats are the ones who attempt to silence their opponents.

Roosevelt would have their butts in a sling - look at the issues with Errol Flynn and his Yawl, the Serrocco (spelling). The guy was stuck to only coming in and out of San Pedro Harbor, because he was telling the Germans which ships were in port, which ships had just left, and where those outbound ships were departing for.

The dude almost lost his job, and had to be bailed out of jail regularly.

I just heard a soundbite from the heinous one. Stating that there certainly have been times when congress has dictated the number of troops sent to war.

Evidently she feels free to lie thru her teeth, knowing the media will never question her statements.
