Anyone with a slightest decency (which I do not expect from any one of you) should be even ashamed to use pseudoname

Well, given that the majority of SI posters use pseudonyms, you have just adjudged a whole bunch of people to not have the slightest decency!

But to get back to your post that first amendment rights be curtailed while we are at war, let me see if I can make my point without any invective but yet graphically so that you hopefully see the point.

When Bangla Desh was seceding from Pakistan there were allegations of atrocities by Pakistani soldiers against the people in your country. Now suppose these soldiers had raped and sodomized your wife, sisters and mother and had stripped naked you, your brothers and father and forced you to simulate sexual acts and masturbate and they were taking pictures as this was going on, would you have wanted it all to be hushed up? Would you have felt that if the Pakistani media had chosen to publicize this sort of barbarism so that the world could know what had been happening, that the media were being unpatriotic or disloyal to Pakistan? If you would have felt that the first duty of the media in such a situation would be to suppress the information lest the Pakistani war effort be jeopardized, I would disagree with you but at least you are being consistent.
