10 years in prison, or a lifetime in the grave?
US seems worse than Japan in that regard. Unfortunately nobody believes Michael Hastings died in a car crash, the burns to his body were too extreme and the car engine ejected 60 feet eye witnesses reported a large explosion after the crash a loud BOOM.
I'd rather have legislation like Japan where we have a system that can be administered in plain sight, with legitimate arrests and prison time for dissidents than extra-judicial killing of journalists.

Seems flawed logic to me. Hastings was an individual case. Has this been applied to everyone and in practice? (apart from the patriot act on paper and not fully enforced as of yet, we are still fighting it). I mean if the conspiracy is true (not saying it is or isn't) still this is not a national issue as being applied to every case. It would be of national interest, but not national issue in that it's happening to everyone.
So it needs to be? ugh... that would be better? "legitimate arrests"? There is simply right and wrong, and legislation in no way legitimizes what is wrong to become right. This is evident in the gun confiscations of Katrina in which it was then fought against and defeated outright, and from a point of national interest. So ontop of that it would have been even better if anyone mentioning it being wrong that they be arrested? Seems more the dissidence of a few, and not speaking of those brandishing firearms or containing them within their homes. If the few in the government become a widespread and practiced order (66), then there is a problem there.
Perhaps I know where this line of thinking comes from, though I wholeheartedly disagree with it. Those that say "It's gotta get worse before it can get better". No, that just leads to a lot of dead people, and no guarantee it'll ever get better. It's just annihilistic, a deep flaw of logic in light of historical accounts.
