freedom of talk still have limits in US no matter

how "free" it is. If you freely and publically say to people anything sympathetic about terrorists, except any pas*****y police to take you in for questioning. Then homeland security probably review your background info and phone tap you like what Bush admitted to a couple days ago. The Patriot Act made that possible even more than ever now. The fact that there is no communist party in US and the fact that they can deny your citizenship if you ever joined any communist party in the world also question this freedom of speech and belief.

I would also suggest you not to watch too intently on US news. Try some England news or some translated global news of other countries to get a more global view.

About press freedoms, I heard read from Yahoo news that the media is getting very little about Iraq situations from the military and many things they couldn't report to the public. The fact that I haven't seen any news on TV about such a thing worried me. What happened to the right of Americans to know the truth of the situation in Iraq in which their sons and daughters are fighting in?

I just want to put my two cents in as the troubles I started to see in America's value of these freedoms in the face of terrorism and a war with ulterior motives.
