Can you even imagine if someone had proposed such a resolution during WWII???

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.

This link brings back memories of an older and better time. I don't remember a rush of petitions to the Supreme Court challenging the Constitutionality of all those conditions.

What was different then?

Where did we go so terribly wrong?
