Romney the Warmongering Enemy of Free Speech (a.k.a., a Neocon)

From Judge Andrew Napolitano’s new book, A Nation of Sheep (p. 167):

“Brian Ross, a prominent investigative reporter at ABC . . . recently exposed the fact that President Bush directed the CIA to carry out secret operations against Iran, including the placment of negative newspaper articles, propaganda broadcasts, and the manipulation of Iran’s currency and international banking transactions. A GOP presidential hopeful, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, quickly came out swinging against ABC and Ross for potentially endangering American lives and jeopardizing national security.”

“It is no coincidence tht Brian Ross’s excellent reporting also landed him on the government’s short list of people to monitor . . . . Since Ross is being monitored by government wiretaps, he has been forced to conduct many more face-to-face interviews and far fewer interviews over the phone.”

Ah, ain’t National Greatness Conservatism great?
