FBI Ordered to Turn Over Lennon Files
CatDogLordOfTheRoot writes "CNN is reporting
that a U.S. District Judge rejected the governments arguements to keep the secret records of John Lennon sealed. The FBI argued that releasing the last ten pages would pose a risk to national security as a foreign government (not identified) secretly gave information to the US Government. Looks like another big step in the Freedom of Information Act."
Now we'll never know where he got all those good drugs from.
Your sig reminds me: I turned Willing To Meta Moderate off since I have not had mod points in over a year. I'm a subscriber and I have no idea why I lost the ability to be a moderator, but a quick look at my comment history will show that I have a single solitary troll to my name (it was a bad day).
I figure if they can't forgive some imagined transgression, I'm not wasting my time with the meta half of it.
You killed my excellent mood. Twit.
It's the sort of time where people will steal and kill, then wrap themselves in the flag later and not face the wrath of authority - since authority has shown it no longer cares. Whatever the next administration or two is will have to deal with it as well.

the man also shot a guy in the back to get a medal - 'chased VC inland behind Hootch and shot him while he fled'. (6th line) a man of conscience?
wow.
The way you say this makes it sound like Mr. Kerry shot an unarmed man in the back with no warning. Shooting an armed enemy soldier in a combat zone is something that happens in wartime. It does not matter if they are running towards or away from you, an armed enemy soldier is a legitimate target.
I have gas, but my car uses petrol.
You right-wing assholes should be in prison for your vile distortions
Yeah, because there sure isn't anyone who would distort truth by taking things out of context for the left-leaning people of the United States, is there?
(Don't flame me as a republican OR a democrat. I'm standing square in the most sought after crowd - the undecided moderates.)
Slashdot still doesnâ(TM)t support Unicode after it was added to the HTML standard in 1997.
It is a DIRECT QUOTE OF WHAT HE SAID. Just because you do not like what he said doesn't change the fact that he said it.
If he had such a fucking conscience he would not have done what he said he did in the first place. He would have disobeyed the orders and faced the results of his actions.
He didn't.
If you are GOP everything that the GOP does is PERFECT and they can do no wrong.
If you are DEM everthing that the DEM does is PERFECT and they can do no wrong.
Well, that's bullshit. Somethings are still flat out wrong and what kerry did in Vietnam falls under that catagory.
It's a serious mistake to reveal an email address if you have any strongly held opinions.
Perhaps I needed to be more explicit. This is "security through obscurity", which the above poster claims "rarely works, as malfeasants usually have other means of gaining access to the information." I was attempting to point out the hypocrisy of the poster.
