Total Information Hypocrisy

From US News & World Report, January 12, 2004, p 6.

Shushing Homeland
Security is one thing, but how about this from the Department of Homeland Security? The agency has instructed employees to ignore, in some cases, court orders to disclose information. The agency says that an employee who gets a court order should seek a delay. And if he or she is unsuccessful and the court persists, the employee "shall respectfully decline to comply with the demand."

"Rule of Law"? Yeah, right. Thanks to the LU List.
