Various conservative blogs are talking about the existence of a "blog squad" at the U.S. Justice Department. The website, the Muffled Oar writes that a blogging unit formed within the Department of Justice to counter websites with posts, articles, and user comments critical of the Obama administration. Matthew Miller Director of Public Affair at the Justice Department told the Washington Times,: "There is no 'blog squad'. There is Tracy [Russo] who handles online media. Its the policy of the office of public affairs to not post anonymous comments. We have not seen any evidence that anyone does post comments, and if we did have evidence of that, people would no longer work here."

He lies.
DOJ denial confirms its existence.
a conservative site that i have been visiting that blogs about counter-intelligence, posted a couple days ago about a “new” browser that visited his site. he briefly described it.
wouldn’t surprise me if THAT was the OBAMA administration and NOT the TALIBAN.
No doj blog squad!! YaY!
Okay...I believe them because they said so.
Pretty interesting, and possible. But more likely its a spook, or someone who wrote their own browser (not hard, actually, to make a html-rendering engine). But if it is something sneaky and new, they wouldn’t give it to an idiot like Russo to use. If so, it wouldn’t be a secret for too long.
These “squads” simply do not exist.
Pay no attention to these bogus news stories.
All is well, my friends.

Do you work for the DOJ?
I bet they all have SEIU shirts on.
Good one! I was wondering whrn they owuld show up here. ;)
BTW, this administration is as paranoid as Nixon’s.
good point. they’d give to the enemy combatants.
The freakin' morons think we're as stupid as they are. And they're almost all hit 'n run morons at that. Cowards, commies, sissies, and intellectual lightweights aren't even worth our time.
Like we ain’t on them like hound kitties. Three down in two days. And it’s early.
“BTW, this administration is as paranoid as Nixons.”
Yeah, but Nixon would have liked us.
Me?
Work for the DOJ?
No way.
.... C'mon, would anyone in DC lie to We The People? Seriously? After all, We The People pay their salaries.
Nonsense.
Admin Moderator does not need a “squad”...
Has to be a freeper in disguise! :)
Sounds like bureaucratese for: our policy is not to post anonymous comments - we suspect it's happened but there's NO evidence ( and no one should show me any) But from this point forward - if it happens, you'll be fired.
That's good news - they're on record saying they won't do this - it'll be political suicide if they get caught tweaking political blogs...
As to Tracy Russo - I wonder how many "posts" in the net are in her name... especially since she doesn't post anonymously.
