OK, I’m catching up on my blog reading and a million kudos to the folks at FreeGovInfo for the tidbits that they share. But here is a really interesting site that they recently wrote about, the Memory Hole (by Russ Kick, editor and publisher).
According to the Memory Hole site:
“The Memory Hole exists to preserve and spread material that is in danger of being lost, is hard to find, or is not widely known. This includes:
• Government files
• Corporate memos
• Court documents (incl. lawsuits and transcripts)
• Police reports and eyewitness statements
• Congressional testimony
• Reports (governmental and non-governmental)
• Maps, patents, Web pages
• Photographs, video, and sound recordings
• News articles
• Books (and portions of books)
The emphasis is on material that exposes things that we’re not supposed to know (or that we’re supposed to forget).”
I’m excited to follow this site — with recent entries focusing on leaked documents and a scoop on NSA forms – this should be habit forming.
