The latest FBI fishing expedition

They apparently want to rummage through the personal papers of Jack Anderson, the late investigative reporter, and grab up anything that's embarrassing to the Bush administration.... er, I mean, Classified. (Classified at the time, I wonder, or retroactively classified to hide Republican screwups?)

Read all about it here. (Or here, or here, etc.)

Many years ago, as a public school student, I wrote a paper which my grandmother (proudly?) showed to her brother, an employee of... well, I probably shouldn't name that agency. Anyway. He found it very interesting, according to a conversation we had years later. Apparently I had managed to describe things in my school paper which were officially "classified information". "The only way I could figure it," he said, "was that you probably found some of Jack Anderson's columns where he had discussed this stuff."

I wonder what they're really after.
