This thing where librarians, who maintain city records, will not release those city records to the police of the same city is a total made up excuse, made up by the American Library Association.

The policies of the ALA might seem a bit hard core, but they're in place to keep private records private. In this day and age that's a laudable goal, and one that I support.

You said, "The policies of the ALA might seem a bit hard core, but they're in place to keep private records private. In this day and age that's a laudable goal, and one that I support."

I spoke with former NYC Police Commish Bernard Kerik about this, about these types of library polices. He told me to tell the ALA librarians to, and I'm quoting now, "Knock it off!"

Knock it off! The de facto head of the ALA expressed regret that a Florida librarian violated a similar law in Florida and reported a 9-11 terrorist to the FBI. This is beyond the pale of even being an American. The ALA regrets a librarian turned in a terrorist to the FBI? Sad but true.

Use your head, while you still have it.
