"On Face The Nation today, [[South Carolina]] [[Senator]] Lindsey Graham said that the reaction to the [[Koran]] burning in [[Florida]] suggests that [[Congress]] should look into limiting some forms of speech":

Graham said, “I wish we could find a way to hold people accountable. [[Free speech]] is a great idea, but we’re in a war. During [[World War II]], we had limits on what you could say if it would inspire the enemy. So, burning a [[Koran]] is a terrible thing but it doesn't justify killing someone. Burning a [[Bible]] would be a terrible thing but it doesn't justify murder. Having said that, anytime we can push back here in [[America]] against actions like this that put our troops at risk we should do it, and I look forward to working with Senators [[John Kerry|Kerry]], and [[Harry Reid|Reid]], and others to condemn this, condemn violence all over the world based on the name  of religion. But [[General Petreaus]] understand better than anybody else in America what happens when something like this is done in our country and he was right to condemn it and I think Congress would be right to reinforce what General Petreasus said.”<ref>Doug Mataconis of [[Outside the Beltway]], Lindsey Graham On Koran Burning: “Freedom Of Speech Is A Great Idea But We’re In A War.”, April 3, 2011 Post:  http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/lindsay-graham-on-koran-burning-freedom-of-speech-is-a-great-idea-but-were-in-a-war Accessed December 4, 2014</ref>

No, you don’t need to hold hearings and you don’t need to be looking into ways to [[First Amendment|limit the free speech]] rights of American [[citizen]]s because of the [[terrorist|insane reaction of people thousands of miles away]] who were obviously ginned up by [[demagogue]]s.
