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."
