Free speech is not mandatory or selective

Another good post by Glen Greenwald on the rightwingers hypocrisy when it comes to the free press. I've been saying the same thing at the DetNews in several posts since the cartoon controversy began. They can't have it both ways. You defend all speech or none is protected and these idiots champions of the First Amendment want to force free speech when they like the content (as in the Muslim cartoons) but prosecute it when they don't (as in the leak that revealed Bush's illegal domestic surveillance).

Postscript: And I can't wait to see these new defenders of free expression fully support the right to dissent at the next anti-war rally.
