No more information for you

The LA Times reports that libraries are being ordered by the federal government to destroy reports - over concerns that the information could be used for malicious means. They also mention that the American Society for Microbiology is taking heat for not yanking research papers about Anthrax. My favorite quote?

Members of the public will be the ones to suffer, [John Phillips] said. "Restricting information may make us feel good, but terrorists aren't dumb. They'll still be able to get at this information somehow."

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
