No, we cannot have--well, actually, the Harkin amendment would impose a censorship to a degree; that is, it would change the criteria that, No. 1, it has to be a syndicated network, and, No. 2, it has to have 1 million listeners. We have shown clearly that they have lived up to that. When the two liberal talk shows, Ed Schultz and Al Franken, reached a million, they started including them. They are including them just as they are the conservative talk shows. If you impose upon them that you are going to have somebody out there watching and making sure that Congress tells them what is best for them, yes, that does impose a restriction on what our troops in the field are able to hear.
