Dershowitz: ‘Pictures Will Be Leaked’

CNN’s Piers Morgan Show with Alan Dershowitz; Col. Morris Davis, former chief prosecutor at Guantanamo; and Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times. h/t I Hate the Media.

Dershowitz: The precedent this would establish for suppressing material because it might be offensive or might lead to this, it would give Muslim extremists veto about what we can read, what we can hear. It harks back to the [Muhammad] cartoon issues and other forms of censorship. We should not censor because if we publish it will offend the sensibilities of people who don’t share our values.

  1. Censorship should be off the table. Period. No if’s, and’s or but’s. Let the marketplace of ideas sort things out. BTW, the reason we’re so f’d up in this country is precisely because we do censor. MSM and academe censor all the time.
