One More Free Speech Rant

The Washington Post ran this cartoon recently. Offensive to the pro-war crowd? Probably. But what is absolutely incredible is that the Pentagon sent this letter (pdf format) to the newspaper yesterday chastising them for running it. Citizens can complain all they want to. America embraces the discourse. But the government should never try to stifle protected free speech. I don't think the Bush Administration understands that at all.
