CBS:
In a case that raises questions about online journalism and privacy rights, the U.S. Department of Justice sent a formal request to an independent news site ordering it to provide details of all reader visits on a certain day.
The grand jury subpoena also required the Philadelphia-based Indymedia.us (One of the biggest independent news sites) Web site "not to disclose the existence of this request" unless authorized by the Justice Department, a gag order that presents an unusual quandary for any news organization.

gwb43.com Friday Follies: A New DoJ Document Dump!
Yeah, yeah, I know, it's Friday night and you aint' got nobody, you got some money cuz you just got paid, how you wish you had someone to talk to, you're in an awful way...oh waitaminit, that's Saturday night. Never mind.*
New DoJ Docco Dump over at Josh's Place. Should you be sufficiently bored, determined to restore Constitutional government, or out of beer, give it a look-through and help them compile Things That Need To Be Noted.
It's a PDF file as usual just to make it more of a pain in the ass so you won't look at it. Are you gonna fall for that cheesy a tactic? I didn't think so.
