He returned safely. I am sick and tired of the blame game. If you dont understand history and wars, it is evident here by the comments left. By the way, many of you cant even stick to the subject of this article. My soldier has risked his life to give you the freedom to say the things you have said. There are always going to be wars, and there are always going to be those who volunteer to go. All is not fair in war. Some are going to get hurt, and some are going to die. There is such evil in this world that there will never be peace. The United States of America has always fought for the oppressed, the less free. As far as the injured soldier who lost his legs, and wanted to wear shorts, number 10 above could not have said it better. What war hero wants to show off the nubs of his injuries. It was just a matter that he could not wear shorts, and did not want to dress like everyone else would be dressed. I am the mother of a US Army soldier who has served one tour in Iraq.

EFF: Legal Guide for Bloggers

Updated April 20, 2006

Whether you’re a newly minted blogger or a relative old-timer, you’ve been seeing more and more stories pop up every day about bloggers getting in trouble for what they post.

Like all journalists and publishers, bloggers sometimes publish information that other people don’t want published. You might, for example, publish something that someone considers defamatory, republish an AP news story that’s under copyright, or write a lengthy piece detailing the alleged crimes of a candidate for public office.

The difference between you and the reporter at your local newspaper is that in many cases, you may not have the benefit of training or resources to help you determine whether what you’re doing is legal. And on top of that, sometimes knowing the law doesn’t help – in many cases it was written for traditional journalists, and the courts haven’t yet decided how it applies to bloggers.

But here’s the important part: None of this should stop you from blogging. Freedom of speech is the foundation of a functioning democracy, and Internet bullies shouldn’t use the law to stifle legitimate free expression. That’s why EFF created this guide, compiling a number of FAQs designed to help you understand your rights and, if necessary, defend your freedom.
