Canada Censors Media

Rightly so in times like these. From the Chronicle Herald:

Still raw from the events of last weekend, when Taliban militants attacked and killed four Canadian soldiers, the Conservative government’s decision to ban the media from covering the arrival ceremonies of war casualties back in Canada was greeted with cautious approval.
"They already know when someone dies down here," said Bombardier Hugo Girouard, a gunner from Shilo, Man.
"Why dramatize more what is already dramatic?"
When asked what their biggest concern would be should something happen to them, very nearly all the soldiers who agreed to speak Tuesday said they preferred grieving family members be shielded from what they consider to be the sometimes ruthless intensity of the media spotlight.

I think we need more freedom from the press, and less freedom of the press.
