Justice Department Redacts Radical Propaganda

The Memory Hole brings to light an almost unbelievable recent incident of government infowar. Here is the passage, from a Supreme Court Decision, that was redacted from an ACLU filing:

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect 'domestic security.' Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent."

Sometimes you've got to laugh to keep from crying.
