The FBI's request instructed Thompson not to reveal who had made the information request or what law had authorized it. Thompson refused to provide the information and revealed the letter and its contents in Capitol Hill Blue. At that point, a U.S. attorney threatened Thompson with jail unless he not only removed the information, but revised the article discussing it.
To avoid going to jail, Thompson complied.
Think about it, folks. A publication has been not only censored, but forced to submit new content acceptable to the government.
