That "liberal" rag the NY Times has an editorial today
that suggests we might want to ban the publication
of certain sources of information.
Recipes for Death

This kind of takes me back to the whole set of discussions
on GM food labels and my argument that there is information
that some people are simply not qualified to evaluate.
Similarly, "recipes" for death are not something that should
be available to the public.
Of course the argument against this is that a ban wouldn't work
and terrorists would still find a way to gather and propagate
this information.
Food for thought.
Robert
