Given the Obama administration's hard attitude on control of "classified" information, Newz from Limbo posed this question to experts: Would SOPA mean that the Justice Dept. could block the Wikileaks site, or the Wall Street Journal leaks site, or block a site publishing a document leaked by a Congressional aide for partisan reasons?

No responses to the question were received from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Electronic Privacy Information Center, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press or from members of the Investigative Reporters and Editors listserve.
