I cannot believe that an American would suggest that Crime-Facilitating Speech not be fully protected.

And nybody who works in financial services knows that the impact of the Patriot act has been criminally *under*-stated.

How about publicizing IRS investigation criteria? Or noting the number of customs inspectors reassigned from drugs to weapons? Or noting the layoffs or reassignment of government regulators? Are these examples of speech that facilitate tax evasion, smuggling, and assorted other criminal offences? Or is ‘facilitating’ only to be applied to persons who do not have a law firm on retainer?
