FBI Files a "Secret Justification" For Gag Order

Posted by kdawson on from the just-trust-us dept.

An anonymous reader notes a story up at Ars on the FBI's continuing penchant for secrecy. "Clearly, the FBI isn't ready to give up its Bush-era secrecy addition just yet. ...in the case of Doe v. Holder, the FBI is carrying out a secret investigation using secret guidelines on what is and is not constitutional, and as part of that investigation they've compelled the secrecy of a service provider and are using a secret justification to argue that nobody's First Amendment rights are being violated."

      Under her administration as governor, Alaska has (finally!!!) started cleaning house.

      What else would you expect from Alaska's first female governor?
