Ed Meese: this man was attorney-general?

Post by Vympel »

Speaking of eerie, during a debate about the PATRIOT Act this morning, Katie Couric was playing referee between a rep from the ACLU and former Attorney General Ed Meese. When it got to the question of the American Library Association's concerns about privacy, Meese suddenly lost his cool and blurted out, "Librarians are more interested in pushing pornography on kids than fighting terrorism!" Can't they do both, Ed?

He's talking about a ACLU court case, which stemmed from some libraries blocking pornography from their computers, many now have public Internet access.
