I scanned the responses to this article and am incredibly perplexed. I can't seem to find a single "on-topic" comment; All commentaries are whiney political diatribes that re-hash what Bush, Clinton, Gore, Eisenhower, et. al. did or didn't do about a wide range of irrelevant (to this post) topics from Iran-Contra to Saddam Hussein to Occidental Petroleum. (who comes under fire next, Teddy Roosevelt for San Juan Hill?) My goodness people, focus on the darn issues here...

1. What do these restrictions and closures mean?
2. Clearly, this action by the present U.S. Administration is an assault on freedom of information access to publicly funded libraries.
3. Who benefits?
4. Who loses?
5. What's being hidden and Why?

Given the track record of the curren folks in power to prevaricate and spin, thie just sounds very wrong to me
