Librarians ethical, but still gov't employees

On: Anonymous Library Cards An Option?

"Forcing" journalists to reveal sources is actually dissimilar to requiring librarians to disclose library records. The law CAN do that. The librarians are employed by the government (or "the people" if your glass is half full) and libraries are state-funded. There is no real option of discretion or conscientious objection to the disclosure of government records on the part of government employees.. god bless the patriot act.
