The Public's Right to Know?
Well here we go again. This time, after the ACLU finally won he right to reveal the existence of a lawsuit against the Administration of the Shrub, the Justice Department forced them to change the paltry amount of information that they put out on their website.
The Washington Post reports that the two paragraphs that Justice had removed included the type of information that FBI agents are allowed to request under the law, and the briefing schedule for the case. Both of these bits of information are public record.
So why would our government (who seems to continually forget that they work on our behalf and at our pleasure) NOT want us to know our rights? Gee, maybe because they've worked so hard to ensure those rights are curtailed that perhaps if we don't understand what few rights we have left, we won't complain when the FBI comes after us to find out the brand of gum we're chewing?
Whereas in the "olden days" we were given copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, perhaps the next move is to make them unavailable online in case someone might actually want to exercise those rights? One may never know.
