This all seems off topic. There is no censorship issue here, as many posts have noted. The media has a huge advantage about getting there flames in public view. This is what has happend here. We all know why the media is upset and many people have noted it, the media in Illinois now has to do it's homework. That slows them down, and the only news is new news. The problem that is being addressed (poorly) is that no one is safer, if the media releases the names of suspects, or people charged with crimes. We all have a voice and elect our government officials. These are the poeple deciding (or appointing the poeple who do) weather or not a person charged with a crime is dangerous or can be released on bail. Having these people who have only been accused, not convicted, paraded around the tabloids (or "reliable" papers) does not protect anyone. No one has the right to know my address(snail mail or email) unless I give it out. No one has the right to know weather or not I was at the Blue Oyster Bar on Saterday night at 9 or not. These "details" are not important to the public, they are important to a jury. If the people, or the media want to know, they can file a freedom of information act form at there local court house or police station for reports. No one is stopping the media or public from knowing who was convicted of a crime. Oh, and here is a question. Do you feel safer knowing that Edward Delarox was convicted and executed. I don't, now I just now that at lest 2 people are dead.

Flagg.
