Once again, as I understand what our lawyer friends on GC have said, this is not a First Amendment issue because the government isn't involved here -- IFC is.
The First Amendment says the government can't interfere with our freedom of speech -- not anyone or anything else.
As a second point, people who want to protest the war are not necessarily jerks. Oh, and that's a matter of freedom of speech as well, isn't it?

They want to protest it fine and they can. What makes them jerks isn't the issue of what they can and can't do. They targetted this fraternity. On top of that posting those pictures is pure one-sided propoghanda. Why not publish pictures of the mass graves, the torture, the mutilations, and the rapes? Well they didn't. They didn't use this to present their side along side something else, they hijacked it for their cause. But why talk about it here right? this isn't chit chat so I'll drop it because i probably won't even discuss it in chit chat.
And the problem with a lot of these news reports is the fact that they're investigations. Nobody knows what's going on. I stood up for one of our chapters that was recently closed. Their closure wasn't due to the investigation posted on greekchat, but something else entirely. It's good to hear what's going on but it's also good to remember it's an investigation and unproven allegations.
