speech - when to say and when not to say

Just been listening to some Chomksy talking on youtube. I am interested in the question of freedom of speech. Do I have the right to say things that would cause the death of many others, even if my hand is not the cause of their death, but the result of the context in which I speak? The site of the utterance I have already discussed being the underlying content rather than the content.

"speak the truth, but only that which is sweet" .. maharishi mahesh yogi.

"is it true? is it necessary? will it hurt anyone? does it improve upon the silence? .. satya sai baba.
