Amusing site of the day
For those of you who are fully aware of what the PATRIOT act states know that the FBI can at any time go to any library and demand information about any individual and the library is legally bound to never say that the FBI visited. Well, August points out to this site that lets libraries know what they can say that's still technically legal under the PATRIOT Act.
Of course, this is more than a mere humorous diversion for those who read it. This is defense of the First Amendment by librarians. Thank God for that. I'm sure this is the kind of thing that keeps John Ashcroft awake at night.
