Bush's Attorney General Ashcroft Tells Libraries to Destroy Citizen-Friendly Publications |
From The American Library Association, 7/30/04:

Statement from ALA President-Elect Michael Gorman on the
destruction of Department of Justice documents
CHICAGO --
The following statement has been issued by President-Elect Michael
Gorman, representing President Carol Brey-Casiano, who is currently in
Guatemala representing the Association:
Last week, the American Library Association learned that the
Department of Justice asked the Government Printing Office
Superintendent of Documents to instruct depository libraries to
destroy five publications the Department has deemed not "appropriate
for external use."
The Department of Justice has called for these five public documents,
two of which are texts of federal statutes, to be removed from
depository libraries and destroyed, making their content available
only to those with access to a law office or law library.
The topics addressed in the named documents include information on how
citizens can retrieve items that may have been confiscated by the
government during an investigation.
The documents to be removed and destroyed include:
Civil and Criminal Forfeiture Procedure;
Select Criminal Forfeiture Forms;
Select Federal Asset Forfeiture Statutes;
Asset forfeiture and money laundering resource directory;
and Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000 (CAFRA).
ALA has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the
withdrawn materials in order to obtain an official response from the
Department of Justice regarding this unusual action, and why the
Department has requested that documents that have been available to
the public for as long as four years be removed from depository
library collections.
ALA is committed to ensuring that public documents remain available to
the public and will do its best to bring about a satisfactory
resolution of this matter.
Librarians should note that, according to policy 72, written
authorization from the Superintendent of Documents is required to
remove any documents.
To this date no such written authorization in hard copy has been
issued.

Good lord! There's nothing too low or too blatant for these fascists.
But then, they naturally fear libraries. People have free access to all
sorts of information in those places. How can we reconcile that with our
War Against Terruh? Apparently, those ruling don't think we can. So this
is undoubtedly seen as wonderful in the White House. Perhaps Duhbyah will
once again dip into the Afghanistan war budget, this time to give little
Johnny Asscroft a serious bonus. A reward for keeping the homeland
libraries burning.

This fucking ***** Ashcroft would love to pass laws in secret, and
keep them SECRET, so when you violate his secret laws, you can be
tried in secret by secret tribunals, and sentenced to a secret
undisclosed location.
What kind of country is this?
