Bush Administration Uses Subpoenas to Suppress Critics
The subpoena raises the possibility that the Bush administration has found a new tool to stop the dissemination of secrets, one that could avoid the all but absolute constitutional prohibition on prior restraints on publication. The disputed document, according to the ACLU, is three and a half pages long and unremarkable and "has nothing to do with national defense." The ACLU said the subpoena was an effort to chill speech about the Bush administration. "The government is involved in a very conscious effort to suppress its critics," said Anthony D. Romero, the ACLU's executive director.
