Independence Day means never having to say you’re censored

The editors of the LAT and NYT released a joint statement this weekend explaining how they decided to disclose a secret Bush administration program to monitor international banking transactions.

We understand that honorable people may disagree with any of these choices — to publish or not to publish.

And it is not one we can surrender to the government.
