    new poll re FREEDOM OF SPEECH

    Folks, read the story...it's off topic so I didn't post, but IMO, this situation affects every American. Basically, media which had been INVITED into a trailer in a FEMA trailer park was ordered off by a security guard. FEMA said it's policy that if media has an interview, that a FEMA REP. must sit in the whole time. So WHAT freedom of speech?

    Katrina victims?
    It's a good policy to protect residents from the media
    If they didn't have this policy, people would complain about media harassment
    It's good for one reason, and one reason only: Geraldo!
    They should compromise: Residents who invite media should notify feds, but no one monitors interview
    While FEMA has a responsibility to protect residents, the current policy goes overboard
    It looks like the First Amendment was blown away by Hurricane Katrina
    It's absurd! What federal numbskull came up with this gem?
    I cannot begin to tell you how outraged I am the U.S. government has this idiotic policy
    This is Big Brother at its height! Tell Bush to stop this nonsense today!
