Tough Call: YouTube al Qaeda Videos

Joe Lieberman has called on YouTube to remove al Qaeda videos. My first reaction was yeah they should be removed. After considering it though, I am not so sure. I believe that YouTube absolutely has the right to remove the videos if they deem them to be against their policies, I am just not sure that a Senator should be pushing the issue. Although, I don't like to see al Qaeda have this type of video available on YouTube, it has some resemblence to the beginnings of the McCarthy era.

We must protect the people and the country but we also must protect our rights as Americans otherwise what are we really protecting?
