Watch What You Say: Free
Speech in Times of National Crisis
In America, freedom of speech is a cherished fundamental right. Must it be
curtailed during emergencies or wars? In this program, ABC News anchor Ted
Koppel and correspondent John Donvan explore the penalties of political
dissent in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon. News footage and a round table discussion with media
personalities, journalists, and others who have suffered the consequences of
voicing unpopular opinions reveal a disturbing yet unsurprising intolerance
for such comments during a period of national crisis.
