Proposed UK Counter Terror bill to criminalize publishing information about police

UK Indymedia has some disturbing information about a new Counter Terror bill being discussed in the House of Lords:

We need to stand with our British brothers and sisters in stopping the criminalization of information - whether it be by fighting the CCTV panopticon that is London (and increasingly, many US cities), arresting or otherwise abusing journalists at demonstrations, or by criminalizing - or at the least creating a chilling effect around - the publication of police actions.
