State of Alaska Prints Out Palin's E-Mails; Online Distribution 'Impractical'

ZipK writes "Three years after numerous citizens and news organizations requested the release of Sarah Palin's gubernatorial e-mails, the State of Alaska is finally making ready to make them available. In print. In Juneau. News organizations must fly or sail to Juneau and pick up the 24,000 page disclosure in person. The state claims it impractical to release the original electronic versions of the e-mails, so the Associated Press, Washington Post, New York Times, Mother Jones, ProPublica and MSNBC each plan to turn some or all of the printouts back into searchable, easily distributed electronic data. Thanks, Alaska." Where's WikiLeaks North?

"our bandwidth is too small! we're only alaska!"

of course, copying the data *once* to somewhere in the main US that has good hosting is way behind the thought process of alaskans?

nah, lets print out what started out as electronic data files. AND lets insist people fly here causing more carbon-harm.

this bitch should be palin-slapped.
