The US isn't without censorship laws, either. Under some interpretations of the Patriot act, it is illegal to give information to a suspected terrorist organization that may help them in any way.
Yes, under some interpretations held by people who are not involved in any way in prosecuting or judging such cases.
Under every interpretation of the Patriot II act, it is illegal to acknoledge the existence of someone who has been detained, eg. writing a biography about them.
Of course, that act was not passed, and is not law, so it's a moot point, but even so, I'd be interested to read more, because that sounds to me extremely far-fetched. The Supreme Court would strike down a law like that before the ink was dry.
