[QUOTE="Judge Bean, post: 12831, member: 42"] [b]John's talk about home searches[/b] The Patton thing didn't work for Custer in the end. What the government does with the news in a sensitive situation is very interesting. Look at Iraq: they allow reporters to be "imbedded" with the troops in combat, but evict them from the country if they say too much or the wrong thing. They want them to practically shout with orgiastic excitement on, e.g., Fox news, over troop advances, but grab the hospital in Fallujah so that "the enemy will not exaggerate casualty figures." If Vietnam is any indication (and why wouldn't it be?), the military will edit casualty reports to reflect progress toward victory. How many Iraqis have died in this war? Fox will not report it; but will [i]The New York Times[/i]? Don't get me started on the domestic front. This administration's willingness to monkey with statistics and other facts is well-documented, whether it's in the area of rigged defense contracts or FDA research or environmental data. Of course, if the government were involved in an extensive program of deliberate violation of the Fourth Amendment, it would not have any qualms* about violating the First Amendment and the public's right to know. This is why I brought up the example of the casualty figures in the Watts riots of 40 years ago-- they've never been corrected. The district court in Downey, just outside the riot zone, was used as a makeshift morgue and contained more than 50 bodies; all of the surrounding district courts were used likewise, amounting to between 200 and 300 dead, according to witnesses whose statements will never be published.
