I know I can get wrapped up in librarian land pretty easily, but do you know what a national security letter is and why I am extraordinarily pissed off by them?
If not, please take the time to read
this. This is our post-9/11 America; an estimated 50,000 of these each year without due process of the law.
I saw Brewster Kahle last year and was quite inspired by his vision for the future, but am even more impressed that he was able to not only fight this but have the federal shushing-gag order on the letter lifted as well. Rock on!
