This week in The New York Times, Maureen Dowd opined:
"I love that Cheney was able to bully Colin Powell, Pentagon generals and George Tenet when drumming up his fake case for war, but when he tried to push around the little guys, the National Archive data collectors -- I'm visualizing dedicated ''We the People'' wonky types with glasses and pocket protectors -- they pushed back.
Archivists are the new macho heroes of Washington."
School House Rock taught us that "knowledge is power." Indeed it is and the public has a right to see those documents, especially the documents of the government. Thank goodness, my fellow librarians and archivists are standing up for what's right!
