National Security and Free speech: The Debate Since 9/11 is a unique collection of sources that reveal the tensions between the desire to protect free speech and the necessity of protecting the nation. The anthology was developed with an understanding that readers need to engage this issue using a variety of resources-speeches, congressional testimony, reports, press releases, news articles, op-eds, court decisions, and legal briefs-that highlight all sides of the debate. An original essay offers historical perspective on the conflict between national security and free speech. Five sections address key elements of the debate: The fight over reader privacy, Gags and government secrecy, Are whistleblowers dangerous?, Government surveillance, Prosecuting terrorist "supporters" Book jacket.
