“Radical Militant Librarians”
Both National Public Radio and the New York Times reported on 12/13/05 on the top secret FISA courts, FBI and radical, militant librarians. Some agents at the FBI have been frustrated by what they see as the Justice Department’s reluctance to let them demand records and to use other far-ranging investigative measures in terrorism cases, newly disclosed e-mail messages and internal documents show. “While radical militant librarians kick us around, true terrorists benefit from OIPR’s failure to let us use the tools given to us,” read the e-mail message, which was sent by an unidentified FBI official. “This should be an OIPR priority!!!” For more information on the Patriot Act, the FBI in your library, connect to “Take Action” on the American Library Association’s web site.
