Reason, Jan, 2002

With mainstream media focused on today's more corporeal threats--exploding bombs, anthrax scares, the economy--online town criers have highlighted less tangible dangers, such as infringement of Constitutional rights.

Three impromptu Web sites of particular note: Journalist Declan McCullagh offers wartimeliberty.com, for "factual, no-nonsense information about the tension between liberty and security during wartime." The Newspaper Guild's "Patriotism's 2-Edged Sword" site, at newsguild.org/2edged.php, chronicles encroachment on press freedoms. And the Electronic Frontier Foundation (eff.org) tracks sites harrassed for running "unpatriotic" content or compromising national security.
