Less freedom every day

From Slashdot:


Defense Tech reports the U.S. government is proposing to exempt satellite images from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The proposed exemption has already passed the Senate and awaits House/Senate conference committee this month.

I’m sure they’ll have a truckload of arguments prepared about why this information shouldn’t be accessible by the people who supposedly control the government, a concept that is steadily becoming less and less relevant.

But that’s a good thing, I’m sure, since we’re so much safer now as a result.
