FOIA: The Right’s New Anti-Intelligence Weapon
One time (Mann and “climategate”) was appalling. Two times (Cronnon) was troubling. Three times? A new strategy. And a really, really nasty one.
From Talking Points Memo:
“A free enterprise think tank in Michigan — backed by some of the biggest names in national conservative donor circles — has made a broad public records request to at least three in-state universities with departments that specialize in the study of labor relations, seeking all their emails regarding the union battle in Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.”
OK, I’m waiting for some more right-leaning voices to step up and condemn this, completely and unreservedly. This is not small potatoes. This is not OK.
