Cyber sleuths

Heh heh heh. Heh heh heh. The AP, which can afford lawyers, is digging into who's been cleaning up Wikipedia entries on state time with state computers. Heh heh heh.

I wish they'd decide to use this lawsuit to try to open up the gubernatorial working papers exception. No other state allows as broad a right to privacy as Arkansas governors enjoy. We should know, at least after the fact, what went into momentous decision making. As it is, the governors can hide, destroy and edit records and otherwise prevent historians from studying how important actions came to pass. It's wrong. For Faubus. For Clinton. For Huckabee. For whoever.
