The ACLU has been showing old school journalism how it's done. The first retort from the Fourth Estate is usually something about how long and potentially expensive the process is, but that doesn't wash in the face of examples like the one you mention here. By the way, the Brits have found what appears to be a much better way to handle this sort of thing.josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252068800720434269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695598.post-1108512060970321632005-02-15T16:01:00.000-08:002005-02-15T16:01:00.000-08:00Hey, they can't even find Atrios online without th...Hey, they can't even find Atrios online without their four year olds along to show them how it's done.

It's like the meter is so over taxed that it's finally broken!<br /><br />And I'm amazed that this memo, which it seems to me I was so clued into just around the time Condi RIce was evading testifying for the 9/11 cover er commision, this is that memo?
