Those who won our independence... valued liberty as an end and as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty. - Louis D. Brandeis

Chilling Free Speech

The Wall Street Journal has an article on a decision by the High Court of Australia. The decision allowing a libel suit to continue against Dow Jones in Australia for an article published to it's website. If this is held to be valid by more then just Australia, an environment less friendly to freedom of speech then the U.S., then it could be far worse if other countries manage to impose their law on Americans and American business and press. Imagine what would happen if a U.S. citizen was held to the laws of Iran, Zimbabwe, or some other dictatorship.
