Privatization Limiting Access To Information
Knutsi sends us to the Federation of American Scientists' blog Secrecy News for a post on how privatization can affect access to research material. The blog tells how a Harvard researcher on the history of nuclear secrecy was denied access that would have been granted in the past. Some followup is in the comments to this reposting of the FAS story. "Los Alamos National Laboratory will no longer permit historians and other researchers to have access to its archival records because Los Alamos National Security (LANS), the private contractor that now operates the Lab, says it has 'no policy in place' that would allow such access."
Ack, i suddenly realize that the above post was karmawhoring.
I now chose to ramble to incoherently to myself..!
As a reply to this post, you can mumble anything you'd like, as long as you do so incoherently =)
(however, even though slashdot is a privately owned site, i think you'll be allowed to use this, even for research purposes)
Blah blah sig blah blah blah irony blah blah
In Capitalist West you will never get data about nuclear factory.
In Soviet Russia nuclear factory will always release data about you.
