Dexter Haven of Straight Dope Staff of the Chicago Reader says, "...there are several limitations on free speech, as interpreted by the courts. The most famous example: you can't yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre. But other examples are related to treason -- the Rosenbergs were tried and hanged for selling nuclear secrets to Russia, and "free speech" wouldn't have been an exoneration.... Treason trumps free speech."
