Where would you suggest? In France, it's illegal to criticize the government. In Germany, it's illegal to display Nazi memorabilia. In the UK there's the Official Secrets Act to deal with.
I am seriously asking what is wrong with what I posted here. Please explain what I said that angered you, and what is libelous?
Well, you seem pretty ignorant of the scope of the Official Secrets Act for a start. Let me quote Section I for the gist:
1. (1) A person who is or has been? (a) a member of the security and intelligence services; or (b) a person notified that he is subject to the provisions of this subsection, is guilty of an offence if without lawful authority he discloses any information, document or other article relating to security or intelligence which is or has been in his possession by virtue of his position as a member of any of those services
So (i) It applies to employees of the government (ii) Its about prevent the dissemination of classified information
Its applicability to wikipedia is precisely nil, unless you have reason to believe British security personnel are posting classified information.
Do the laws that convicted [[Robert Hanssen]] impinge on wikipedia's operation?
