[Political Junkie Too]

It makes one wonder how the NYT can leak secret prisons, secret bank transaction tracing, secret foreign wiretaps, secret agent names, etc., but nobody can leak a simple ordinary birth certificate?

Once I went to get a certified copy of a death certificate and the clerk prepared it in front of me. They had the paper under lock and key at the vital records office. I remarked that I thought that was odd, and she responded that the plain paper goes for hundreds on the street.

I am wondering if just a bit of plain vital records paper somehow escaped Honolulu. It is just too strange. No signature. No certification.
