The New Face of Big Brother? | The Smirking Chimp

READ MORE: The New Face of Big Brother? | The Smirking Chimp: "Here's an ominous development that is likely to pass almost unnoticed: a congressman requesting that the federal government identify to him everyone who has made a request under the Freedom of Information Act.

The requester is Darrell Issa, the new head of the House Oversight Committee. He of course paints his initiative in benign terms--he just wants to make sure the government isn't dragging its feet in answering public queries. But it's hard to accept that at face value, without at least considering the corporate interests that backed the GOP takeover in November, and Issa's ascension to this powerful position."
