learned first on sunday when i opened up my e-mail and saw that there was a list published in the official newspaper. that's when i first found out about it. megyn: was that news to you? what, what is your understanding of the charges against you? >> well, it was news to me, and it was quite a surprise because it's a real escalation in the egyptian government's confrontation with the united states, frankly. um, what we understand our office is being charged with is opening an office illegally and receiving foreign funds without prior permission with a motive of creating instability and chaos in the country. none of this is true. megyn: you've got colleagues who are over there in egypt right now unable to come home. we're talking about american colleagues who cannot get out of the country of egypt. >> yes. all of freedom house's staff is egyptian. they're not going to leave their country. and they want to stay there and face these charges. um, we have sister organizations like the international republican institute and the national democratic institute, they do have americans and third country nation

participating in or failing to prevent mob attacks against newspaper offices. official kren shcensorship, the banishment of some, the humiliating punishment of others. if anything, i think historians have not made a full audit. they focused on two or three landmark cases which are often viewed as mistakes often corrected. most scholars have assessed the curtailment of press liberty during the civil war as surprisingly infrequent and usually justified. i'm going to suggest tonight the effort was far more widespread than we've understood. though it did remain always supremely disorganized and ad hoc. and you'll decide on the justification yourself. i'm going to propose the repression was supported by not only most of the union public, the loyal union public, although in constitutional issue that doesn't matter so much. but also by many newspaper editors as well. i've been surprised by that. finally i will argue when lincoln had a chance to apply total press censorship, he didn't. let me offer evidence of the nonlegal variety because it's important. to understand the condi
