It was rather ironic, I thought that one headline today discusses a so-called first amendment issue, relating to a ban on support of a terrorist group;
while another article, in this same issue, contains evidence that American taxpayers have been unknowingly supporting mafia type groups, and indirectly, the Taliban, in Afghanistan.
It is often said, moreover, without much sense nowadays, that ignorance of the law is no defense.
Wouldn't 'taxpayers', in such circumstances, be entitled to such a defense?
Was it an 'accident' that these two articles appeared together, or is there some 'deep thinker' at the Times?
