Because you can’t muzzle freedom of speech by the whim of the government. Even in the US or the EU issues of treason or national interest are limited by the courts and not by the government with an on and off switch. When Musharraf did it it was wrong. Now when the PPP is doing it is wrong. You can’t silence people just because you disagree with them and call it national interest.

I agree that concept of national interest is too broad, but that doesn’t mean there should be no rules for media.
