Gingrich, speaking at a Manchester awards banquet, said a “different set of rules” may be needed to reduce terrorists’ ability to use the Internet and free speech to recruit and get out their message.
“We need to get ahead of the curve before we actually lose a city, which I think could happen in the next decade,” said Gingrich
Prior to his speech, he granted an interview and touched on this:
Gingrich said America has “failed” in Iraq over the past three years and urged a new approach to winning the conflict. The U.S. needs to engage Syria and Iran and increase investment to train the Iraqi army and a national police force, he said. “How does a defeat for America make us safer?” Gingrich said. “I would look at an entirely new strategy.” He added: “We have clearly failed in the last three years to achieve the kind of outcome we want.”
Political parties in Presidential primary states should host events that invite candidates from both parties to discuss issues, said Gingrich, who criticized the sharpness of today’s politics.
Gingrich said voters unhappy with the war, the response to Hurricane Katrina and pork barrel spending were the main drive behind the GOP’s rejection at the polls. But he argued Republicans would have retained the Senate and just narrowly lost the House if President Bush had announced the departure of embattled Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld before, instead of after, the election.
I am seeing this creating more problems than necessary. In order to limit a terrorists usage, ours would need to be limited as well. In this case, I am sure we can agree that it is better to monitor suspected terrorists than to punish all of us.

The statement is vague at best, however if the reference to “free speech” was to the internet, well then there is no such animal.

Interesting choice of a headline regarding what this Gingrich guy said in addition…
Isn’t it both quite contradicting & hypocritical to put a questionmark after “…wants to limit free speech” and at the same time reduce the text at the frontpage to sth. which completey omits some of the real main messages???
