Federal prosecutors have given the Library Connection, a cooperative of 26 libraries that share an automated system, permission to identify themselves as the recipients of the secret subpoena, known as a national security letter, which ordered them to turn over patron records and e-mail messages according to today’s New York Times article Librarians Win as U.S. Relents on Secrecy Law
But in the article they state that George Christian, the executive director of Library Connection, “has answered ‘no comment’ when asked about the case by reporters” and he “did not respond to several messages seeking comment last night.”
I am outraged that the consortium leader wouldn’t immediately champion the victory.
