    Google Chairman Eric Schmidt told a crowd of Washington journalists Thursday night that free speech was messy, disorganized, and fundamental to a Democracy that keeps the powerful honest. He pledged that his company stood with those journalists. "I'm here to tell you we stand with you," he said, but also said there "will never be a perfect way to combat censorship or privacy violations at home or abroad, but we're going to do our part. "
