Memory Hole Un-Redacts Redacted DOJ Memo

Posted by CowboyNeal on Saturday November 1, 2003 @07:40AM from the poorly-hidden-secrets dept.

DrDNA writes "After a Freedom of Information Act request, the US Justice Department released a study on workplace diversity. However, nearly half of the memo was blacked-out. In what was apparently an incredible goof, it was posted in a PDF format called Image+Text. The folks at The Memory Hole simply removed the image, revealing the redacted text. The redacted text was highly critical of the DOJ's diversity efforts, as the New York Times reports." Folks, if you're going to be sneaky, at least do enough research to make sure you're really being sneaky.

True only to an extent. Take Gray-out Davis for example. As soon as he proposed a hefty car tax, the sheeple got motivated to yank him out. As soon as he proposed drivers licenses for illegal immigrants, he was as good as gone.

You should acquint yourself with the concept of How-To: Boil a Frog.
