Forgetting the travesty this makes of the Bill of Rights, the really 
*stupid* thing is that almost always, coerced information is false, 
because people under psychological or physical pressure will say 
anything to make it stop.

So our rights are supposed to be suspended so that Bush and Co. can get 
*more* disinformation than they already have?

Harumph.
