American Library Association stands up to the inJustice Department:

Last week, the American Library Association learned that the Department of Justice asked the Government printing Office Superintendent of Documents to instruct depository libraries to destroy five publications the department has deemed not "appropriate for external use." The Department of Justice has called for these five these public documents, two of which are texts of federal statutes, to be removed from depository libraries and destroyed, making their content available only to those with access to a law office or law library.

An open and transparent government is our only hope. No number of handguns and assault rifles will defend us from tyranny we can't see coming.
