the blurbs, not the full articles):
Justice To Libraries: Please Destroy Some Books For Us
The Department of Justice has asked the Government
Printing Office to instruct federal depository
libraries around the country to destroy five
publications that the Department of Justice has deemed
not "appropriate for external use." Blogger Simson
Garfinkel notes that two of these books are simply the
texts of federal statutes.
Justice Department: Whoops, We Changed Our Mind!
Garfinkel follows up: Following negative fallout, the
Department of Justice has decided to rescind its order
asking the Depository Libraries to destroy books.

place to wage war, despite the examples of Gailet and

manure would get her flagged under the
hunt-for-terrorism flag...
