Too Much Freedom of Speech

Can there be too much freedom of speech? When is it too much, if ever? Yes i know its too much freedom of speech when even i am allowed to blog endlessly about whatever drivel runs out of my warped brain, down my arms, thru my fingers and onto the keyboard. Thats obvious ;-), but other than the obvious, when, if ever is it too much information given out.

The latest example to bother me is the report that the U.S. is woefully ill prepared to deal with a Bio-terrorism attack.  If this is public knowledge, and thanks to free speech it is, then our enemies know it also. Personally i DO want this information, but i'd rather my enemies dont have it. But i cant have it both ways. i know that.
I wonder am i being naive, thinking the major enemies of the U.S. wouldnt get this information anyway thru the ever present spy network? It is after all how we get our "intelligence" (and i use the term loosely given our recent past).
So what is it do you think?  Should the general public know about EVERYTHING, thus leaving it out there for all our enemiee, or should the government lie to us, even more than they already do, thus attempting to protect us from some harm.  Lying to the public, (which pre 1960's was the norm), would protect us from the little enemies. the ones with no real knowledge or network, the ones who are nothing more than individuals or small bands of home grown disgruntled occupants inside the united states; the Timothy Mcveighs in our own backyard.  that is all we would stop by withholding information.
Just sit for a minute and think of all the things thru the years that have been exposed thru freedom of speech that YOU would rather didnt.

 let me excerpt here a sentence i found ironically funny, yet sad. The "panel" who issued the report was appointed by congress, which should at least instill confidence that we have the countries very best people empaneled, right? Well read this Intelligent summation:
The panel's "report card" warned that a major attack using weapons of mass destruction somewhere in the world was "more likely than not" to occur by 2013, unless significant steps were taken.
 My god, i have a new puppy that could have made an incongruous statement like that. Hell even G.W. Bush could have thought of this. Hmmm, actually it sounds eerily like something who would have said.
Let me make an equally broad statement, based on my years of research into meteorological phenomena. "Somewhere in the world right now, it is raining!!!"  Wow to think i could now someday be empaneled by congress to reach a major conclusion on a topic of such magnitude as our national safety, i cant wait.

Anyway, any thoughts????
