Matt, international incident that has AFFECTED THE GULF COAST. And now, with our law enforcers suspending the 1st amendment for BP's sake?
Yeah, reporters and anybody else are stopped by police when trying to take pictures of the environment ruined by the oil.
**sigh**
If someone owns that land and doesn't like reporters, then reporters cannot be on said land. It's not suspending the first amendment, it's keeping people you don't like off of your property. If it's a national park/restricted wetland/whatever, then the USA owns it.
