One of my favorite journalists and bloggers is now facing Homeland Security Charges for some reporting he's done regarding Hurricane Katrina.
Greg Palast is facing a criminal complaint from the Department of Homeland Security stemming from his filming the Hurricane Katrina investigation for Link TV and Democracy Now. The film's producer, Matt Pascarella, is also facing the legal wrath of Big Brother. It appears the complaint is about filming a sensitive national security site owned by Exxon petroleum. It seems that photographing major Bush donors is now a federal offense.
Who's interests are our elected officials protecting, here? Our government is in the business of censoring reporters for the sake of protecting BIG OIL in the name of "national security."
Still think you're living in a free country?
