MUST READ: 'So The Innocent Have Nothing To Fear?' - GuardianUK

15. Those who attack the Guardian fail to appreciate the new theater that journalism is in, I think.

Most people can see that they're playing the theater of "The Secret Guarding," just like the government goons are ... who were, oh noes, one click away from ramming down the Guardian's doors. Most people know that all that info is likely in lots of other locations, that this is a kind of 'time out' stall for time to get public opinion on their side, sell papers, take the pressure off and figure out which country they need to safely do this kind of work in.

It will be interesting to see how allies of US MIC complex work toward corporate elites' dismantling of world democracy, and which "official sources" consistently amplify their memes. These state attacks on journalists isn't about old school politics or nations anymore; it's about a new era of stealth players in pursuit of different ends.
