by Eileen | 4:32 pm, March 5, 2013

The last public news on John Brennan, Barack Obama’s pick to head the CIA, was weeks ago, when his public confirmation hearing was held. In short, Code Pink made fools of themselves, Brennan lied, committee chair Dianne Feinstein lied and made a fool of herself, and there was posturing all around.

by Bob Adelmann | 1:39 pm, October 27, 2012

Courts and Dept of Justice Agree: Videotaping Police is OK

by Bob Adelmann | 12:36 pm, February 13, 2012

The pen is mightier than the sword. And so, it appears, is the cellphone. The right to video tape government officials’ bad behavior has always been a citizen’s right. Now the courts and, amazingly, the Department of Justice as well, are recognizing and confirming the right. It’s showtime!

Arrogant ATF Makes Up Rules As It Goes Along

by Bob Adelmann | 12:22 pm, January 8, 2012

by Randall Smith | 6:30 am, October 26, 2011

There’s all sorts of fun stuff today. Pay special attention to the DoJ giving itself permission to lie to you about FOIA requests. Don’t worry though because this is the most transparent administration ever.

On to the snark-filled world of links.
